  14           A driver for 802.11b wireless cards based on the "Hermes" or
  15           Intersil HFA384x (Prism 2) MAC controller.  This includes the vast
  16           majority of the PCMCIA 802.11b cards (which are nearly all rebadges)
  17           - except for the Cisco/Aironet cards.  Cards supported include the
  18           Apple Airport (not a PCMCIA card), WavelanIEEE/Orinoco,
  19           Cabletron/EnteraSys Roamabout, ELSA AirLancer, MELCO Buffalo, Avaya,
  20           IBM High Rate Wireless, Farralon Syyline, Samsung MagicLAN, Netgear

  22           IPW2011, and Symbol Spectrum24 High Rate amongst others.
  23
  24           This option includes the guts of the driver, but in order to
  25           actually use a card you will also need to enable support for PCMCIA
  26           Hermes cards, PLX9052 based PCI adaptors or the Apple Airport below.
  27
  28           You will also very likely also need the Wireless Tools in order to
  29           configure your card and that /etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts works :

  51
  52           Otherwise load the firmware from userspace as required.  In
  53           this case the driver should be unloaded and restarted

 116           EnteraSys RoamAbout 802.11, ELSA Airlancer, Melco Buffalo and
 117           others).  It should also be usable on various Prism II based cards
 118           such as the Linksys, D-Link and Farallon Skyline.  It should also
 119           work on Symbol cards such as the 3Com AirConnect and Ericsson WLAN.
