remove the strip driver
The latest trace about usage of this driver I found was an (unanswered) request for help by a user trying to get it working reliably five years ago with kernel 2.4 . And even if it was still working the use cases of this driver (requiring both the hardware and someone providing this kind of wireless network) have become practically nonexisting. This patch therefore removes the strip driver. Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk <bunk@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

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.
