9 A driver for 802.11b wireless cards based on the "Hermes" or
10 Intersil HFA384x (Prism 2) MAC controller. This includes the vast
11 majority of the PCMCIA 802.11b cards (which are nearly all rebadges)
12 - except for the Cisco/Aironet cards. Cards supported include the
13 Apple Airport (not a PCMCIA card), WavelanIEEE/Orinoco,
14 Cabletron/EnteraSys Roamabout, ELSA AirLancer, MELCO Buffalo, Avaya,
15 IBM High Rate Wireless, Farralon Syyline, Samsung MagicLAN, Netgear
16 MA401, LinkSys WPC-11, D-Link DWL-650, 3Com AirConnect, Intel
17 IPW2011, and Symbol Spectrum24 High Rate amongst others.

19 This option includes the guts of the driver, but in order to
20 actually use a card you will also need to enable support for PCMCIA
21 Hermes cards, PLX9052 based PCI adaptors or the Apple Airport below.
22
23 You will also very likely also need the Wireless Tools in order to
24 configure your card and that /etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts works :

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

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

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

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

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

114 This is a driver for 802.11b cards using RAM-loadable Symbol
115 firmware, such as Symbol Wireless Networker LA4100, CompactFlash
116 cards by Socket Communications and Intel PRO/Wireless 2011B.

118 This driver requires firmware download on startup. Utilities
