0014 A driver for 802.11b wireless cards based on the "Hermes" or
0015 Intersil HFA384x (Prism 2) MAC controller. This includes the vast
0016 majority of the PCMCIA 802.11b cards (which are nearly all rebadges)
0017 - except for the Cisco/Aironet cards. Cards supported include the
0018 Apple Airport (not a PCMCIA card), WavelanIEEE/Orinoco,
0019 Cabletron/EnteraSys Roamabout, ELSA AirLancer, MELCO Buffalo, Avaya,
0020 IBM High Rate Wireless, Farralon Syyline, Samsung MagicLAN, Netgear
0021 MA401, LinkSys WPC-11, D-Link DWL-650, 3Com AirConnect, Intel
0022 IPW2011, and Symbol Spectrum24 High Rate amongst others.
0023
0024 This option includes the guts of the driver, but in order to
0025 actually use a card you will also need to enable support for PCMCIA
0026 Hermes cards, PLX9052 based PCI adaptors or the Apple Airport below.
0027
0028 You will also very likely also need the Wireless Tools in order to
0029 configure your card and that /etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts works :

0037 Say Y to enable support for Prism 2 and 2.5 chipsets. These
0038 chipsets are better handled by the hostap driver. This driver
0039 would not support WPA or firmware download for Prism chipset.

0048 Say Y to cache any firmware required by the Hermes drivers
0049 on startup. The firmware will remain cached until the
0050 driver is unloaded. The cache uses 64K of RAM.
0051
0052 Otherwise load the firmware from userspace as required. In
0053 this case the driver should be unloaded and restarted
0054 whenever the firmware is changed.
