2 tristate "Hermes chipset 802.11b support (Orinoco/Prism2/Symbol)"
3 depends on (PPC_PMAC || PCI || PCMCIA)
5 select CFG80211_WEXT_EXPORT
11 select CRYPTO_MICHAEL_MIC
13 A driver for 802.11b wireless cards based on the "Hermes" or
14 Intersil HFA384x (Prism 2) MAC controller. This includes the vast
15 majority of the PCMCIA 802.11b cards (which are nearly all rebadges)
16 - except for the Cisco/Aironet cards. Cards supported include the
17 Apple Airport (not a PCMCIA card), WavelanIEEE/Orinoco,
18 Cabletron/EnteraSys Roamabout, ELSA AirLancer, MELCO Buffalo, Avaya,
19 IBM High Rate Wireless, Farralon Syyline, Samsung MagicLAN, Netgear
20 MA401, LinkSys WPC-11, D-Link DWL-650, 3Com AirConnect, Intel
21 IPW2011, and Symbol Spectrum24 High Rate amongst others.
23 This option includes the guts of the driver, but in order to
24 actually use a card you will also need to enable support for PCMCIA
25 Hermes cards, PLX9052 based PCI adaptors or the Apple Airport below.
27 You will also very likely also need the Wireless Tools in order to
28 configure your card and that /etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts works :

32 bool "Support Prism 2/2.5 chipset"
36 Say Y to enable support for Prism 2 and 2.5 chipsets. These
37 chipsets are better handled by the hostap driver. This driver
38 would not support WPA or firmware download for Prism chipset.
40 If you are not sure, say N.
42 config HERMES_CACHE_FW_ON_INIT
43 bool "Cache Hermes firmware on driver initialisation"
47 Say Y to cache any firmware required by the Hermes drivers
48 on startup. The firmware will remain cached until the
49 driver is unloaded. The cache uses 64K of RAM.
51 Otherwise load the firmware from userspace as required. In
52 this case the driver should be unloaded and restarted
53 whenever the firmware is changed.
55 If you are not sure, say Y.
58 tristate "Apple Airport support (built-in)"
59 depends on PPC_PMAC && HERMES
61 Say Y here to support the Airport 802.11b wireless Ethernet hardware
62 built into the Macintosh iBook and other recent PowerPC-based
63 Macintosh machines. This is essentially a Lucent Orinoco card with
64 a non-standard interface.
66 This driver does not support the Airport Extreme (802.11b/g). Use
67 the BCM43xx driver for Airport Extreme cards.
70 tristate "Hermes in PLX9052 based PCI adaptor support (Netgear MA301 etc.)"
71 depends on PCI && HERMES
73 Enable support for PCMCIA cards supported by the "Hermes" (aka
74 orinoco) driver when used in PLX9052 based PCI adaptors. These
75 adaptors are not a full PCMCIA controller but act as a more limited
76 PCI <-> PCMCIA bridge. Several vendors sell such adaptors so that
77 802.11b PCMCIA cards can be used in desktop machines. The Netgear
78 MA301 is such an adaptor.
81 tristate "Hermes in TMD7160 based PCI adaptor support"
82 depends on PCI && HERMES
84 Enable support for PCMCIA cards supported by the "Hermes" (aka
85 orinoco) driver when used in TMD7160 based PCI adaptors. These
86 adaptors are not a full PCMCIA controller but act as a more limited
87 PCI <-> PCMCIA bridge. Several vendors sell such adaptors so that
88 802.11b PCMCIA cards can be used in desktop machines.
91 tristate "Nortel emobility PCI adaptor support"
92 depends on PCI && HERMES
94 Enable support for PCMCIA cards supported by the "Hermes" (aka
95 orinoco) driver when used in Nortel emobility PCI adaptors. These
96 adaptors are not full PCMCIA controllers, but act as a more limited
97 PCI <-> PCMCIA bridge.
100 tristate "Prism 2.5 PCI 802.11b adaptor support"
101 depends on PCI && HERMES && HERMES_PRISM
103 Enable support for PCI and mini-PCI 802.11b wireless NICs based on
104 the Prism 2.5 chipset. These are true PCI cards, not the 802.11b
105 PCMCIA cards bundled with PCI<->PCMCIA adaptors which are also
106 common. Some of the built-in wireless adaptors in laptops are of
110 tristate "Hermes PCMCIA card support"
111 depends on PCMCIA && HERMES && HAS_IOPORT_MAP
113 A driver for "Hermes" chipset based PCMCIA wireless adaptors, such
114 as the Lucent WavelanIEEE/Orinoco cards and their OEM (Cabletron/
115 EnteraSys RoamAbout 802.11, ELSA Airlancer, Melco Buffalo and
116 others). It should also be usable on various Prism II based cards
117 such as the Linksys, D-Link and Farallon Skyline. It should also
118 work on Symbol cards such as the 3Com AirConnect and Ericsson WLAN.
120 You will very likely need the Wireless Tools in order to
121 configure your card and that /etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts works:
122 <http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Tools.html>.
124 config PCMCIA_SPECTRUM
125 tristate "Symbol Spectrum24 Trilogy PCMCIA card support"
126 depends on PCMCIA && HERMES && HAS_IOPORT_MAP
129 This is a driver for 802.11b cards using RAM-loadable Symbol
130 firmware, such as Symbol Wireless Networker LA4100, CompactFlash
131 cards by Socket Communications and Intel PRO/Wireless 2011B.
133 This driver requires firmware download on startup. Utilities
134 for downloading Symbol firmware are available at
135 <http://sourceforge.net/projects/orinoco/>
138 tristate "Agere Orinoco USB support"
139 depends on USB && HERMES
142 This driver is for USB versions of the Agere Orinoco card.
