  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. This option includes the guts of the driver, but in order to
  22. actually use a card you will also need to enable support for PCMCIA
  23. Hermes cards, PLX9052 based PCI adaptors or the Apple Airport below.
  24. You will also very likely also need the Wireless Tools in order to
  25. configure your card and that /etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts works :

  31. ---help---
  32. Say Y to cache any firmware required by the Hermes drivers
  33. on startup. The firmware will remain cached until the
  34. driver is unloaded. The cache uses 64K of RAM.
  35. Otherwise load the firmware from userspace as required. In
  36. this case the driver should be unloaded and restarted
  37. whenever the firmware is changed.
  38. If you are not sure, say Y.

  43. Say Y here to support the Airport 802.11b wireless Ethernet hardware
  44. built into the Macintosh iBook and other recent PowerPC-based
  45. Macintosh machines. This is essentially a Lucent Orinoco card with
  46. a non-standard interface.

  56. PCI <-> PCMCIA bridge. Several vendors sell such adaptors so that
  57. 802.11b PCMCIA cards can be used in desktop machines. The Netgear
  58. MA301 is such an adaptor.

  82. PCMCIA cards bundled with PCI<->PCMCIA adaptors which are also
  83. common. Some of the built-in wireless adaptors in laptops are of
  84. this variety.

  90. as the Lucent WavelanIEEE/Orinoco cards and their OEM (Cabletron/
  91. EnteraSys RoamAbout 802.11, ELSA Airlancer, Melco Buffalo and
  92. others). It should also be usable on various Prism II based cards
  93. such as the Linksys, D-Link and Farallon Skyline. It should also
  94. work on Symbol cards such as the 3Com AirConnect and Ericsson WLAN.
