The only Wimedia LLC Protocol (WLP) hardware was an Intel i1480 chip with a beta release of firmware that was never commercially available as a product. This hardware and firmware is no longer available as Intel sold their UWB/WLP IP. I also see little prospect of other WLP capable hardware ever being available.

UWB is a high-bandwidth, low-power, point-to-point radio
|
|
technology using a wide spectrum (3.1-10.6GHz). It is
|
|
optimized for in-room use (480Mbps at 2 meters, 110Mbps at
|
|
10m). It serves as the transport layer for other protocols,
|
|
such as Wireless USB (WUSB).
|
|
|
|
The topology is peer to peer; however, higher level
|
|
protocols (such as WUSB) might impose a master/slave
|
|
relationship.
|
|
|
|
Say Y here if your computer has UWB radio controllers (USB or PCI)
|
|
based. You will need to enable the radio controllers
|
|
below. It is ok to select all of them, no harm done.
|
|
|
|
For more help check the UWB and WUSB related files in
|
|
<file:Documentation/usb/>.
|
|
|
|
To compile the UWB stack as a module, choose M here.

help
|
|
This driver enables the radio controller for HWA USB
|
|
devices. HWA stands for Host Wire Adapter, and it is a UWB
|
|
Radio Controller connected to your system via USB. Most of
|
|
them come with a Wireless USB host controller also.
|
|
|
|
To compile this driver select Y (built in) or M (module). It
|
|
is safe to select any even if you do not have the hardware.

This driver enables the radio controller for WHCI cards.
|
|
|
|
WHCI is a specification developed by Intel
|
|
(http://www.intel.com/technology/comms/wusb/whci.htm) much
|
|
in the spirit of USB's EHCI, but for UWB and Wireless USB
|
|
radio/host controllers connected via memory mapping (eg:
|
|
PCI). Most of these cards come also with a Wireless USB host
|
|
controller.

To compile this driver select Y (built in) or M (module). It

This driver enables support for the i1480 when connected via
|
|
USB. It consists of a firmware uploader that will enable it

to behave as an HWA device.
