  44. weight of a cellular telephone. (You may also have heard them called
  45. "Metricom modems" but we avoid the term "modem" because it misleads
  46. many people into thinking that you can plug a Metricom modem into a

  48. You can use STRIP on any Linux machine with a serial port, although
  49. it is obviously most useful for people with laptop computers. If you

  343. This is the standard Linux driver to support Cisco/Aironet PCMCIA
  344. 802.11 wireless cards. This driver is the same as the Aironet
  345. driver part of the Linux Pcmcia package.
  346. It supports the new 802.11b cards from Cisco (Cisco 34X, Cisco 35X
  347. - with or without encryption) as well as card before the Cisco
  348. acquisition (Aironet 4500, Aironet 4800, Aironet 4800B). It also
  349. supports OEM of Cisco such as the DELL TrueMobile 4800 and Xircom
  350. 802.11b cards.
  351. This driver support both the standard Linux Wireless Extensions
  352. and Cisco proprietary API, so both the Linux Wireless Tools and the
  353. Cisco Linux utilities can be used to configure the card.
  354. To use your PC-cards, you will need supporting software from David
  355. Hinds' pcmcia-cs package (see the file <file:Documentation/Changes>
  356. for location). You also want to check out the PCMCIA-HOWTO,
  357. available from <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.

  403. If you enable this you will need a firmware file as well.
  404. You will need to copy this to /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/isl3890.
  405. You can get this non-GPL'd firmware file from the Prism54 project page:
  406. <http://prism54.org>
  407. You will also need the /etc/hotplug/firmware.agent script from
  408. a current hotplug package.
  409. Note: You need a motherboard with DMA support to use any of these cards
  410. If you want to compile the driver as a module ( = code which can be
  411. inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want),
  412. say M here and read <file:Documentation/modules.txt>. The module
  413. will be called prism54.ko.
