Firmware
Firmware is the software embedded into hardware that allows your computer to communicate and properly use the features of said hardware. Many products, especially routers and WiFi adapters, allow you to download new firmware from the manufacturer's website and update the product's capabilities.

Madwifi Stripped
This driver is a fork from the Madwifi driver. It allows you to send and receive 802.11 frames in click; Other device drivers usually allow you to transport 802.3 frames back and forth from a wireless card.
There are some sample click configs included in the tarball that show how to configure a device so that you can send and receive normal ethernet packets through a click device, which will convert them to 802.11 frames.
