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

30config HERMES_CACHE_FW_ON_INIT
31 bool "Cache Hermes firmware on driver initialisation"
32 depends on HERMES
33 default y
34 ---help---
35 Say Y to cache any firmware required by the Hermes drivers
36 on startup. The firmware will remain cached until the
37 driver is unloaded. The cache uses 64K of RAM.
38
39 Otherwise load the firmware from userspace as required. In
40 this case the driver should be unloaded and restarted
41 whenever the firmware is changed.
42
43 If you are not sure, say Y.

48 help
49 Say Y here to support the Airport 802.11b wireless Ethernet hardware
50 built into the Macintosh iBook and other recent PowerPC-based
51 Macintosh machines. This is essentially a Lucent Orinoco card with
52 a non-standard interface.
53
54 This driver does not support the Airport Extreme (802.11b/g). Use
55 the BCM43xx driver for Airport Extreme cards.

60 help
61 Enable support for PCMCIA cards supported by the "Hermes" (aka
62 orinoco) driver when used in PLX9052 based PCI adaptors. These
63 adaptors are not a full PCMCIA controller but act as a more limited
64 PCI <-> PCMCIA bridge. Several vendors sell such adaptors so that
65 802.11b PCMCIA cards can be used in desktop machines. The Netgear
66 MA301 is such an adaptor.

90 help
91 Enable support for PCI and mini-PCI 802.11b wireless NICs based on
92 the Prism 2.5 chipset. These are true PCI cards, not the 802.11b
93 PCMCIA cards bundled with PCI<->PCMCIA adaptors which are also
94 common. Some of the built-in wireless adaptors in laptops are of
95 this variety.

102 as the Lucent WavelanIEEE/Orinoco cards and their OEM (Cabletron/
103 EnteraSys RoamAbout 802.11, ELSA Airlancer, Melco Buffalo and
104 others). It should also be usable on various Prism II based cards
105 such as the Linksys, D-Link and Farallon Skyline. It should also
106 work on Symbol cards such as the 3Com AirConnect and Ericsson WLAN.
