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 :

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

46 Say Y to cache any firmware required by the Hermes drivers
47 on startup. The firmware will remain cached until the
48 driver is unloaded. The cache uses 64K of RAM.

50 Otherwise load the firmware from userspace as required. In
51 this case the driver should be unloaded and restarted
52 whenever the firmware is changed.

61 built into the Macintosh iBook and other recent PowerPC-based
62 Macintosh machines. This is essentially a Lucent Orinoco card with
63 a non-standard interface.

74 adaptors are not a full PCMCIA controller but act as a more limited
75 PCI <-> PCMCIA bridge. Several vendors sell such adaptors so that
76 802.11b PCMCIA cards can be used in desktop machines. The Netgear

103 the Prism 2.5 chipset. These are true PCI cards, not the 802.11b

105 common. Some of the built-in wireless adaptors in laptops are of
