This driver uses the core orinoco modules for the bulk of the functionality. The low level hermes routines (for local bus cards) are replaced, the driver supplies its own ndo_xmit_start function, and locking is done with the _bh variant. Some recent functionality is not available to the USB cards yet (firmware loading and WPA). Out-of-tree driver originally written by Manuel Estrada Sainz. Thanks to Mark Davis for supplying hardware to test the updates. Signed-off-by: David Kilroy <kilroyd@googlemail.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

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 cache any firmware required by the Hermes drivers

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.

If you are not sure, say Y.
