| 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 : |
