|  | 22 | Say Y if you have a Metricom radio and intend to use Starmode Radio | 
|  | 23 | IP. STRIP is a radio protocol developed for the MosquitoNet project | 
|  | 24 | (on the WWW at <http://mosquitonet.stanford.edu/>) to send Internet | 
|  | 25 | traffic using Metricom radios.  Metricom radios are small, battery | 
|  | 26 | powered, 100kbit/sec packet radio transceivers, about the size and | 
|  | 27 | weight of a cellular telephone. (You may also have heard them called | 
|  | 28 | "Metricom modems" but we avoid the term "modem" because it misleads | 
|  | 29 | many people into thinking that you can plug a Metricom modem into a | 
|  | 30 | phone line and use it as a modem.) | 
|  | 31 |  | 
|  | 32 | You can use STRIP on any Linux machine with a serial port, although | 
|  | 33 | it is obviously most useful for people with laptop computers. If you | 
|  | 34 | think you might get a Metricom radio in the future, there is no harm | 
|  | 35 | in saying Y to STRIP now, except that it makes the kernel a bit | 
|  | 36 | bigger. |

|  | 517 | If you enable this you will need a firmware file as well. | 
|  | 518 | You will need to copy this to /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/isl3890. | 
|  | 519 | You can get this non-GPL'd firmware file from the Prism54 project page: | 
|  | 520 | <http://prism54.org> | 
|  | 521 | You will also need the /etc/hotplug/firmware.agent script from | 
|  | 522 | a current hotplug package. | 
|  | 523 |  | 
|  | 524 | Note: You need a motherboard with DMA support to use any of these cards |

|  | 529 | The module will be called prism54.ko. |
