Thx for your reply.

Actually i want to use wireless LAN in my embedded linux, i would like to use Philip BGW200 WLAN chip as the wireless module. Except the adapter for this module , do i need to download and plug-in WLAN stack to the kernel or i can just choose to support wlan simply in the menuconfig ?

Hope somebody can give me a hand.

Regards,
TOM

Hi all

Do linux support WLAN stack ? i find in menuconfig but seems
no there.
Do anyone know if there any stack and driver adapter of
wireless in linux ?



Of course there are. If you are only talking about a stack, I believe that
people are working on the ieee80211 stack specifically and if you are
talking about supported adapters, just go to Network Devices and Wireless
and you should see several drivers there to load into the kernel.

I really don't understand your question, So I'm assuming that you want to
know if Linux has support for wireless cards.

Google can help you further.
