A driver for 802.11b wireless cards based on the "Hermes" or
|
Intersil HFA384x (Prism 2) MAC controller. This includes the vast
|
majority of the PCMCIA 802.11b cards (which are nearly all rebadges)
|
- except for the Cisco/Aironet cards. Cards supported include the
|
Apple Airport (not a PCMCIA card), WavelanIEEE/Orinoco,
|
Cabletron/EnteraSys Roamabout, ELSA AirLancer, MELCO Buffalo, Avaya,
|
IBM High Rate Wireless, Farralon Syyline, Samsung MagicLAN, Netgear
|
MA401, LinkSys WPC-11, D-Link DWL-650, 3Com AirConnect, Intel
|
IPW2011, and Symbol Spectrum24 High Rate amongst others.
|
|
This option includes the guts of the driver, but in order to
|
actually use a card you will also need to enable support for PCMCIA
|
Hermes cards, PLX9052 based PCI adaptors or the Apple Airport below.
|
|
You will also very likely also need the Wireless Tools in order to
|
configure your card and that /etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts works :

Say Y to enable support for Prism 2 and 2.5 chipsets. These
|
chipsets are better handled by the hostap driver. This driver
|
would not support WPA or firmware download for Prism chipset.

If you are not sure, say N.

help
|
Say Y to cache any firmware required by the Hermes drivers
|
on startup. The firmware will remain cached until the
|
driver is unloaded. The cache uses 64K of RAM.
|
|
Otherwise load the firmware from userspace as required. In
|
this case the driver should be unloaded and restarted
|
whenever the firmware is changed.
|
|
If you are not sure, say Y.

Say Y here to support the Airport 802.11b wireless Ethernet hardware
|
built into the Macintosh iBook and other recent PowerPC-based
|
Macintosh machines. This is essentially a Lucent Orinoco card with

a non-standard interface.

This driver does not support the Airport Extreme (802.11b/g). Use

the BCM43xx driver for Airport Extreme cards.

Enable support for PCMCIA cards supported by the "Hermes" (aka
|
orinoco) driver when used in PLX9052 based PCI adaptors. These
|
adaptors are not a full PCMCIA controller but act as a more limited
|
PCI <-> PCMCIA bridge. Several vendors sell such adaptors so that
|
802.11b PCMCIA cards can be used in desktop machines. The Netgear
|
MA301 is such an adaptor.

Enable support for PCI and mini-PCI 802.11b wireless NICs based on

the Prism 2.5 chipset. These are true PCI cards, not the 802.11b

PCMCIA cards bundled with PCI<->PCMCIA adaptors which are also
|
common. Some of the built-in wireless adaptors in laptops are of

this variety.

as the Lucent WavelanIEEE/Orinoco cards and their OEM (Cabletron/
|
EnteraSys RoamAbout 802.11, ELSA Airlancer, Melco Buffalo and

others). It should also be usable on various Prism II based cards
