 12	  A driver for 802.11b wireless cards based on the "Hermes" or
 13	  Intersil HFA384x (Prism 2) MAC controller.  This includes the vast
 14	  majority of the PCMCIA 802.11b cards (which are nearly all rebadges)
 15	  - except for the Cisco/Aironet cards.  Cards supported include the
 16	  Apple Airport (not a PCMCIA card), WavelanIEEE/Orinoco,
 17	  Cabletron/EnteraSys Roamabout, ELSA AirLancer, MELCO Buffalo, Avaya,
 18	  IBM High Rate Wireless, Farralon Syyline, Samsung MagicLAN, Netgear
 19	  MA401, LinkSys WPC-11, D-Link DWL-650, 3Com AirConnect, Intel
 20	  IPW2011, and Symbol Spectrum24 High Rate amongst others.
 21
 22	  This option includes the guts of the driver, but in order to
 23	  actually use a card you will also need to enable support for PCMCIA
 24	  Hermes cards, PLX9052 based PCI adaptors or the Apple Airport below.
 25
 26	  You will also very likely also need the Wireless Tools in order to
 27	  configure your card and that /etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts works :

 30config HERMES_PRISM
 31	bool "Support Prism 2/2.5 chipset"
 32	depends on HERMES
 33	---help---
 34
 35	  Say Y to enable support for Prism 2 and 2.5 chipsets.  These
 36	  chipsets are better handled by the hostap driver.  This driver
 37	  would not support WPA or firmware download for Prism chipset.
 38
 39	  If you are not sure, say N.

 41config HERMES_CACHE_FW_ON_INIT
 42	bool "Cache Hermes firmware on driver initialisation"
 43	depends on HERMES
 44	default y
 45	---help---
 46	  Say Y to cache any firmware required by the Hermes drivers
 47	  on startup.  The firmware will remain cached until the
 48	  driver is unloaded.  The cache uses 64K of RAM.
 49
 50	  Otherwise load the firmware from userspace as required.  In
 51	  this case the driver should be unloaded and restarted
 52	  whenever the firmware is changed.
 53
 54	  If you are not sure, say Y.
 55
 56config APPLE_AIRPORT
 57	tristate "Apple Airport support (built-in)"
 58	depends on PPC_PMAC && HERMES
 59	help
 60	  Say Y here to support the Airport 802.11b wireless Ethernet hardware
 61	  built into the Macintosh iBook and other recent PowerPC-based
 62	  Macintosh machines. This is essentially a Lucent Orinoco card with
 63	  a non-standard interface.
 64
 65	  This driver does not support the Airport Extreme (802.11b/g). Use
 66	  the BCM43xx driver for Airport Extreme cards.

 68config PLX_HERMES
 69	tristate "Hermes in PLX9052 based PCI adaptor support (Netgear MA301 etc.)"
 70	depends on PCI && HERMES
 71	help
 72	  Enable support for PCMCIA cards supported by the "Hermes" (aka
 73	  orinoco) driver when used in PLX9052 based PCI adaptors.  These
 74	  adaptors are not a full PCMCIA controller but act as a more limited
 75	  PCI <-> PCMCIA bridge.  Several vendors sell such adaptors so that
 76	  802.11b PCMCIA cards can be used in desktop machines.  The Netgear
 77	  MA301 is such an adaptor.
 78
 79config TMD_HERMES
 80	tristate "Hermes in TMD7160 based PCI adaptor support"
 81	depends on PCI && HERMES
 82	help
 83	  Enable support for PCMCIA cards supported by the "Hermes" (aka

 98config PCI_HERMES
 99	tristate "Prism 2.5 PCI 802.11b adaptor support"
100	depends on PCI && HERMES && HERMES_PRISM
101	help
102	  Enable support for PCI and mini-PCI 802.11b wireless NICs based on
103	  the Prism 2.5 chipset.  These are true PCI cards, not the 802.11b
104	  PCMCIA cards bundled with PCI<->PCMCIA adaptors which are also
105	  common.  Some of the built-in wireless adaptors in laptops are of
106	  this variety.
107
108config PCMCIA_HERMES
109	tristate "Hermes PCMCIA card support"
110	depends on PCMCIA && HERMES
111	---help---
112	  A driver for "Hermes" chipset based PCMCIA wireless adaptors, such
113	  as the Lucent WavelanIEEE/Orinoco cards and their OEM (Cabletron/
114	  EnteraSys RoamAbout 802.11, ELSA Airlancer, Melco Buffalo and
115	  others).  It should also be usable on various Prism II based cards
116	  such as the Linksys, D-Link and Farallon Skyline.  It should also
117	  work on Symbol cards such as the 3Com AirConnect and Ericsson WLAN.
118
119	  You will very likely need the Wireless Tools in order to
120	  configure your card and that /etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts works:

126	---help---
127
128	  This is a driver for 802.11b cards using RAM-loadable Symbol
129	  firmware, such as Symbol Wireless Networker LA4100, CompactFlash
130	  cards by Socket Communications and Intel PRO/Wireless 2011B.
131
132	  This driver requires firmware download on startup.  Utilities
133	  for downloading Symbol firmware are available at

136config ORINOCO_USB
137	tristate "Agere Orinoco USB support"
