0015 Shared driver code for IEEE 802.11b wireless cards based on
0016 Intersil Prism2/2.5/3 chipset. This driver supports so called
0017 Host AP mode that allows the card to act as an IEEE 802.11
0018 access point.
0019
0020 See <http://hostap.epitest.fi/> for more information about the
0021 Host AP driver configuration and tools. This site includes
0022 information and tools (hostapd and wpa_supplicant) for WPA/WPA2
0023 support.
0024
0025 This option includes the base Host AP driver code that is shared by
0026 different hardware models. You will also need to enable support for
0027 PLX/PCI/CS version of the driver to actually use the driver.
0028
0029 The driver can be compiled as a module and it will be called
0030 hostap.

0035 help
0036 Configure Host AP driver to include support for firmware image
0037 download. This option by itself only enables downloading to the
0038 volatile memory, i.e. the card RAM. This option is required to
0039 support cards that don't have firmware in flash, such as D-Link
0040 DWL-520 rev E and D-Link DWL-650 rev P.
0041
0042 Firmware image downloading needs a user space tool, prism2_srec.
0043 It is available from http://hostap.epitest.fi/.

0050 card memory, i.e. flash memory that survives power cycling.
0051 Enable this option if you want to be able to change card firmware
0052 permanently.
