Shared driver code for IEEE 802.11b wireless cards based on
|
Intersil Prism2/2.5/3 chipset. This driver supports so called
|
Host AP mode that allows the card to act as an IEEE 802.11
|
access point.
|
|
See <http://hostap.epitest.fi/> for more information about the
|
Host AP driver configuration and tools. This site includes
|
information and tools (hostapd and wpa_supplicant) for WPA/WPA2
|
support.
|
|
This option includes the base Host AP driver code that is shared by
|
different hardware models. You will also need to enable support for
|
PLX/PCI/CS version of the driver to actually use the driver.
|
|
The driver can be compiled as a module and it will be called
|
hostap.

config HOSTAP_FIRMWARE

bool "Support downloading firmware images with Host AP driver"

|
help
|
Configure Host AP driver to include support for firmware image
|
download. This option by itself only enables downloading to the
|
volatile memory, i.e. the card RAM. This option is required to
|
support cards that don't have firmware in flash, such as D-Link
|
DWL-520 rev E and D-Link DWL-650 rev P.
|
|
Firmware image downloading needs a user space tool, prism2_srec.
|
It is available from http://hostap.epitest.fi/.
|
|
config HOSTAP_FIRMWARE_NVRAM
|
bool "Support for non-volatile firmware download"

|
help
|
Allow Host AP driver to write firmware images to the non-volatile
|
card memory, i.e. flash memory that survives power cycling.
|
Enable this option if you want to be able to change card firmware
|
permanently.
|
|
Firmware image downloading needs a user space tool, prism2_srec.
