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

| Say Y to enable support for Prism 2 and 2.5 chipsets. These | |

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

| built into the Macintosh iBook and other recent PowerPC-based | |
| Macintosh machines. This is essentially a Lucent Orinoco card with | |
| a non-standard interface. | |

| PCI <-> PCMCIA bridge. Several vendors sell such adaptors so that | |
| 802.11b PCMCIA cards can be used in desktop machines. The Netgear | |
