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 ?

As always, if the adapter is supported in the kernel, just select the menuconfig support and compile the source. If it's not in the kernel, then google and you might find a driver for it.

Simply google for "BGW200 Linux" or if you have a distro do like "BGW200 debian"

PS: I don't think this is the place to talk about this.

I hope that helps.

Hope somebody can give me a hand.

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.
