| 7 | Shared driver code for IEEE 802.11b wireless cards based on |
| 8 | Intersil Prism2/2.5/3 chipset. This driver supports so called |
| 9 | Host AP mode that allows the card to act as an IEEE 802.11 |
| 10 | access point. |

| Jouni Malinen | ff1d276 | 2005-05-12 22:54:16 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 12 | See <http://hostap.epitest.fi/> for more information about the |
| 13 | Host AP driver configuration and tools. This site includes |
| 14 | information and tools (hostapd and wpa_supplicant) for WPA/WPA2 |
| 15 | support. |
| 16 | |
| 17 | This option includes the base Host AP driver code that is shared by |
| 18 | different hardware models. You will also need to enable support for |
| 19 | PLX/PCI/CS version of the driver to actually use the driver. |
| 20 | |
| 21 | The driver can be compiled as a module and it will be called |
| 22 | "hostap.ko". |
