 | 14 | 	  Saying Y here also enables the Wireless Extensions (creates | 
 | 15 | 	  /proc/net/wireless and enables iwconfig access). The Wireless | 
 | 16 | 	  Extension is a generic API allowing a driver to expose to the user | 
 | 17 | 	  space configuration and statistics specific to common Wireless LANs. | 
 | 18 | 	  The beauty of it is that a single set of tool can support all the | 
 | 19 | 	  variations of Wireless LANs, regardless of their type (as long as | 
 | 20 | 	  the driver supports Wireless Extension). Another advantage is that | 
 | 21 | 	  these parameters may be changed on the fly without restarting the | 
 | 22 | 	  driver (or Linux). If you wish to use Wireless Extensions with | 
 | 23 | 	  wireless PCMCIA (PC-) cards, you need to say Y here; you can fetch | 
 | 24 | 	  the tools from |

 | 40 | 	  Say Y if you have a Metricom radio and intend to use Starmode Radio |

 | 42 | 	  (on the WWW at <http://mosquitonet.stanford.edu/>) to send Internet | 
 | 43 | 	  traffic using Metricom radios.  Metricom radios are small, battery | 
 | 44 | 	  powered, 100kbit/sec packet radio transceivers, about the size and | 
 | 45 | 	  weight of a cellular telephone. (You may also have heard them called | 
 | 46 | 	  "Metricom modems" but we avoid the term "modem" because it misleads | 
 | 47 | 	  many people into thinking that you can plug a Metricom modem into a | 
 | 48 | 	  phone line and use it as a modem.) | 
 | 49 |  | 
 | 50 | 	  You can use STRIP on any Linux machine with a serial port, although | 
 | 51 | 	  it is obviously most useful for people with laptop computers. If you | 
 | 52 | 	  think you might get a Metricom radio in the future, there is no harm | 
 | 53 | 	  in saying Y to STRIP now, except that it makes the kernel a bit | 
 | 54 | 	  bigger. |
