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).

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.
