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

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

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

  51. orinoco) driver when used in PLX9052 based PCI adaptors. These
  52. adaptors are not a full PCMCIA controller but act as a more limited
  53. PCI <-> PCMCIA bridge. Several vendors sell such adaptors so that
  54. 802.11b PCMCIA cards can be used in desktop machines. The Netgear
  55. MA301 is such an adaptor.

  77. Enable support for PCI and mini-PCI 802.11b wireless NICs based on
  78. the Prism 2.5 chipset. These are true PCI cards, not the 802.11b
  79. PCMCIA cards bundled with PCI<->PCMCIA adaptors which are also
  80. common. Some of the built-in wireless adaptors in laptops are of
  81. this variety.

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

  100. firmware, such as Symbol Wireless Networker LA4100, CompactFlash
  101. cards by Socket Communications and Intel PRO/Wireless 2011B.
  102. This driver requires firmware download on startup. Utilities
