Move the strip ("Starmode Radio IP") driver to drivers/staging. For
several years this driver has only seen API "bombing-run" changes, and
few people ever had the hardware. This driver represents unnecessary
ongoing maintenance for no clear benefit.
This patch brought to you by the "hacking" session at the 2009 Kernel
Summit in Tokyo, Japan...

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.
