Matteo Croce 6593b58cfb [PATCH] wireless/airo: Build fix 
The aironet PCI driver has a build dependency on ISA that prevent the
driver to compile on systems that doesn't support ISA, like x86_64.  The
driver really doesn't depend on ISA, it does some ISA stuff in the
initialization code, since the driver supports both ISA and PCI cards.  So
the driver should depend on ISA_DMA_API to build on all systems, and this
will not hurt PCI at all.

menu "Wireless LAN (non-hamradio)"
depends on NETDEVICES
config NET_RADIO
bool "Wireless LAN drivers (non-hamradio) & Wireless Extensions"
---help---
Support for wireless LANs and everything having to do with radio,
but not with amateur radio or FM broadcasting.
Saying Y here also enables the Wireless Extensions (creates
/proc/net/wireless and enables iwconfig access). The Wireless
Extension is a generic API allowing a driver to expose to the user
space configuration and statistics specific to common Wireless LANs.
The beauty of it is that a single set of tool can support all the
variations of Wireless LANs, regardless of their type (as long as
the driver supports Wireless Extension). Another advantage is that
these parameters may be changed on the fly without restarting the
driver (or Linux). If you wish to use Wireless Extensions with
wireless PCMCIA (PC-) cards, you need to say Y here; you can fetch
the tools from
<http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Tools.html>.
Some user-level drivers for scarab devices which don't require
special kernel support are available from
<ftp://shadow.cabi.net/pub/Linux/>.
# Note : the cards are obsolete (can't buy them anymore), but the drivers
# are not, as people are still using them...

config STRIP
tristate "STRIP (Metricom starmode radio IP)"
depends on NET_RADIO && INET
---help---
Say Y if you have a Metricom radio and intend to use Starmode Radio
IP. STRIP is a radio protocol developed for the MosquitoNet project
(on the WWW at <http://mosquitonet.stanford.edu/>) to send Internet
traffic using Metricom radios. Metricom radios are small, battery
powered, 100kbit/sec packet radio transceivers, about the size and
weight of a cellular telephone. (You may also have heard them called
"Metricom modems" but we avoid the term "modem" because it misleads
many people into thinking that you can plug a Metricom modem into a
phone line and use it as a modem.)
You can use STRIP on any Linux machine with a serial port, although
it is obviously most useful for people with laptop computers. If you
think you might get a Metricom radio in the future, there is no harm
in saying Y to STRIP now, except that it makes the kernel a bit
bigger.
To compile this as a module, choose M here: the module will be
called strip.
config ARLAN
tristate "Aironet Arlan 655 & IC2200 DS support"
depends on NET_RADIO && ISA && !64BIT
---help---
Aironet makes Arlan, a class of wireless LAN adapters. These use the
www.Telxon.com chip, which is also used on several similar cards.
This driver is tested on the 655 and IC2200 series cards. Look at
<http://www.ylenurme.ee/~elmer/655/> for the latest information.
The driver is built as two modules, arlan and arlan-proc. The latter
is the /proc interface and is not needed most of time.
On some computers the card ends up in non-valid state after some
time. Use a ping-reset script to clear it.
config WAVELAN
