14 A driver for 802.11b wireless cards based on the "Hermes" or
15 Intersil HFA384x (Prism 2) MAC controller. This includes the vast
16 majority of the PCMCIA 802.11b cards (which are nearly all rebadges)
17 - except for the Cisco/Aironet cards. Cards supported include the
18 Apple Airport (not a PCMCIA card), WavelanIEEE/Orinoco,
19 Cabletron/EnteraSys Roamabout, ELSA AirLancer, MELCO Buffalo, Avaya,
20 IBM High Rate Wireless, Farralon Syyline, Samsung MagicLAN, Netgear
21 MA401, LinkSys WPC-11, D-Link DWL-650, 3Com AirConnect, Intel
22 IPW2011, and Symbol Spectrum24 High Rate amongst others.
23
24 This option includes the guts of the driver, but in order to
25 actually use a card you will also need to enable support for PCMCIA
26 Hermes cards, PLX9052 based PCI adaptors or the Apple Airport below.
27
28 You will also very likely also need the Wireless Tools in order to
29 configure your card and that /etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts works :

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

47 ---help---
48 Say Y to cache any firmware required by the Hermes drivers
49 on startup. The firmware will remain cached until the
50 driver is unloaded. The cache uses 64K of RAM.
51
52 Otherwise load the firmware from userspace as required. In
53 this case the driver should be unloaded and restarted
54 whenever the firmware is changed.

56 If you are not sure, say Y.

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

74 Enable support for PCMCIA cards supported by the "Hermes" (aka
75 orinoco) driver when used in PLX9052 based PCI adaptors. These
76 adaptors are not a full PCMCIA controller but act as a more limited
77 PCI <-> PCMCIA bridge. Several vendors sell such adaptors so that
78 802.11b PCMCIA cards can be used in desktop machines. The Netgear
79 MA301 is such an adaptor.

105 the Prism 2.5 chipset. These are true PCI cards, not the 802.11b
106 PCMCIA cards bundled with PCI<->PCMCIA adaptors which are also
107 common. Some of the built-in wireless adaptors in laptops are of
108 this variety.
