  10. A driver for 802.11b wireless cards based on the "Hermes" or
  11. Intersil HFA384x (Prism 2) MAC controller. This includes the vast
  12. majority of the PCMCIA 802.11b cards (which are nearly all rebadges)
  13. - except for the Cisco/Aironet cards. Cards supported include the
  14. Apple Airport (not a PCMCIA card), WavelanIEEE/Orinoco,
  15. Cabletron/EnteraSys Roamabout, ELSA AirLancer, MELCO Buffalo, Avaya,
  16. IBM High Rate Wireless, Farralon Syyline, Samsung MagicLAN, Netgear
  17. MA401, LinkSys WPC-11, D-Link DWL-650, 3Com AirConnect, Intel
  18. IPW2011, and Symbol Spectrum24 High Rate amongst others.
  19. This option includes the guts of the driver, but in order to
  20. actually use a card you will also need to enable support for PCMCIA
  21. Hermes cards, PLX9052 based PCI adaptors or the Apple Airport below.
  22. You will also very likely also need the Wireless Tools in order to
  23. configure your card and that /etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts works :

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

  41. Say Y here to support the Airport 802.11b wireless Ethernet hardware
  42. built into the Macintosh iBook and other recent PowerPC-based
  43. Macintosh machines. This is essentially a Lucent Orinoco card with
  44. a non-standard interface.
  45. This driver does not support the Airport Extreme (802.11b/g). Use
  46. the BCM43xx driver for Airport Extreme cards.

  53. adaptors are not a full PCMCIA controller but act as a more limited
  54. PCI <-> PCMCIA bridge. Several vendors sell such adaptors so that
  55. 802.11b PCMCIA cards can be used in desktop machines. The Netgear
  56. MA301 is such an adaptor.

  79. the Prism 2.5 chipset. These are true PCI cards, not the 802.11b
  80. PCMCIA cards bundled with PCI<->PCMCIA adaptors which are also
  81. common. Some of the built-in wireless adaptors in laptops are of
  82. this variety.

  86. ---help---
  87. A driver for "Hermes" chipset based PCMCIA wireless adaptors, such
  88. as the Lucent WavelanIEEE/Orinoco cards and their OEM (Cabletron/
  89. EnteraSys RoamAbout 802.11, ELSA Airlancer, Melco Buffalo and
  90. others). It should also be usable on various Prism II based cards
  91. such as the Linksys, D-Link and Farallon Skyline. It should also
  92. work on Symbol cards such as the 3Com AirConnect and Ericsson WLAN.
