CONFIG_WAVELAN
  The Lucent WaveLAN (formerly NCR and AT&T; or DEC RoamAbout DS) is
  a Radio LAN (wireless Ethernet-like Local Area Network) using the
  radio frequencies 900 MHz and 2.4 GHz.

  This driver support the ISA version of the WaveLAN card.  A separate
  driver for the PCMCIA (PC-card) hardware is available in David
  Hinds' pcmcia-cs package (see the file <file:Documentation/Changes>
  for location).

  If you want to use an ISA WaveLAN card under Linux, say Y and read
  the Ethernet-HOWTO, available from
  <http://www.linuxdoc.org/docs.html#howto>. Some more specific
  information is contained in
  <file:Documentation/networking/wavelan.txt> and in the source code
  <file:drivers/net/wavelan.p.h>.

  You will also need the wireless tools package available from
  <http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Tools.html>.
  Please read the man pages contained therein.

  This driver is also available as a module ( = code which can be
  inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want).
  The module will be called wavelan.o.  If you want to compile it as a
  module, say M here and read <file:Documentation/modules.txt> as well
  as <file:Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt>.

CONFIG_HERMES
  A driver for 802.11b wireless cards based based on the "Hermes" or
  Intersil HFA384x (Prism 2) MAC controller.  This includes the vast
  majority of the PCMCIA 802.11b cards (which are nearly all rebadges)
  - except for the Cisco/Aironet cards.  Cards supported include the
  Apple Airport (not a PCMCIA card), WavelanIEEE/Orinoco,
  Cabletron/EnteraSys Roamabout, ELSA AirLancer, MELCO Buffalo, Avaya,
  IBM High Rate Wireless, Farralon Syyline, Samsung MagicLAN, Netgear
  MA401, LinkSys WPC-11, D-Link DWL-650, 3Com AirConnect, Intel
  PRO/Wireless, and Symbol Spectrum24 High Rate amongst others.

  This option includes the guts of the driver, but in order to
  actually use a card you will also need to enable support for PCMCIA
  Hermes cards, PLX9052 based PCI adaptors or the Apple Airport below.

  You will also very likely also need the Wireless Tools in order to
  configure your card and that /etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts works :
  <http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Tools.html>

CONFIG_PLX_HERMES
  Enable support for PCMCIA cards supported by the "Hermes" (aka
  orinoco_cs) driver when used in PLX9052 based PCI adaptors.  These
  adaptors are not a full PCMCIA controller but act as a more limited
  PCI <-> PCMCIA bridge.  Several vendors sell such adaptors so that
  802.11b PCMCIA cards can be used in desktop machines.  The Netgear
  MA301 is such an adaptor.

  Support for these adaptors is so far still incomplete and buggy.
  You have been warned.

CONFIG_PCMCIA_HERMES
  A driver for "Hermes" chipset based PCMCIA wireless adaptors, such
  as the Lucent WavelanIEEE/Orinoco cards and their OEM (Cabletron/
  EnteraSys RoamAbout 802.11, ELSA Airlancer, Melco Buffalo and
  others).  It should also be usable on various Prism II based cards
  such as the Linksys, D-Link and Farallon Skyline.  It should also
  work on Symbol cards such as the 3Com AirConnect and Ericsson WLAN.

  To use your PC-cards, you will need supporting software from David
  Hinds' pcmcia-cs package (see the file <file:Documentation/Changes>
  for location).  You also want to check out the PCMCIA-HOWTO,
  available from <http://www.linuxdoc.org/docs.html#howto>.

  You will also very likely also need the Wireless Tools in order to
  configure your card and that /etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts works:
  <http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Tools.html>.

CONFIG_AIRO
  This is the standard Linux driver to support Cisco/Aironet ISA and
  PCI 802.11 wireless cards.
  It supports the new 802.11b cards from Cisco (Cisco 34X, Cisco 35X
  - with or without encryption) as well as card before the Cisco
  aquisition (Aironet 4500, Aironet 4800, Aironet 4800B).

  This driver support both the standard Linux Wireless Extensions
  and Cisco proprietary API, so both the Linux Wireless Tools and the
  Cisco Linux utilities can be used to configure the card.

  The driver can be compiled as a module and will be named "airo.o".

CONFIG_AIRO_CS
  This is the standard Linux driver to support Cisco/Aironet PCMCIA
  802.11 wireless cards.  This driver is the same as the Aironet
  driver part of the Linux Pcmcia package.
  It supports the new 802.11b cards from Cisco (Cisco 34X, Cisco 35X
  - with or without encryption) as well as card before the Cisco
  aquisition (Aironet 4500, Aironet 4800, Aironet 4800B). It also
  supports OEM of Cisco such as the DELL TrueMobile 4800 and Xircom
  802.11b cards.

  This driver support both the standard Linux Wireless Extensions
  and Cisco proprietary API, so both the Linux Wireless Tools and the
  Cisco Linux utilities can be used to configure the card.

  To use your PC-cards, you will need supporting software from David
  Hinds' pcmcia-cs package (see the file <file:Documentation/Changes>
  for location).  You also want to check out the PCMCIA-HOWTO,
  available from <http://www.linuxdoc.org/docs.html#howto>.

CONFIG_APPLE_AIRPORT
  Say Y here to support the Airport 802.11b wireless Ethernet hardware
  built into the Macintosh iBook and other recent PowerPC-based
  Macintosh machines. This is essentially a Lucent Orinoco card with 
  a non-standard interface

CONFIG_PCMCIA_NETWAVE
  Say Y here if you intend to attach this type of PCMCIA (PC-card)
  wireless Ethernet networking card to your computer.

  This driver is also available as a module ( = code which can be
  inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want).
  The module will be called netwave_cs.o.  If you want to compile it
  as a module, say M here and read <file:Documentation/modules.txt>.
  If unsure, say N.

CONFIG_PCMCIA_WAVELAN
  Say Y here if you intend to attach an AT&T/Lucent Wavelan PCMCIA
  (PC-card) wireless Ethernet networking card to your computer.  This
  driver is for the non-IEEE-802.11 Wavelan cards.

  This driver is also available as a module ( = code which can be
  inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want).
  The module will be called wavelan_cs.o.  If you want to compile it
  as a module, say M here and read <file:Documentation/modules.txt>.
  If unsure, say N.
