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
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.
