7 ---help---
8 Shared driver code for IEEE 802.11b wireless cards based on
9 Intersil Prism2/2.5/3 chipset. This driver supports so called
10 Host AP mode that allows the card to act as an IEEE 802.11
11 access point.
12
13 See <http://hostap.epitest.fi/> for more information about the
14 Host AP driver configuration and tools. This site includes
15 information and tools (hostapd and wpa_supplicant) for WPA/WPA2
16 support.
17
18 This option includes the base Host AP driver code that is shared by
19 different hardware models. You will also need to enable support for
20 PLX/PCI/CS version of the driver to actually use the driver.
21
22 The driver can be compiled as a module and it will be called
23 "hostap.ko".

25config HOSTAP_FIRMWARE
26 bool "Support downloading firmware images with Host AP driver"
27 depends on HOSTAP
28 ---help---
29 Configure Host AP driver to include support for firmware image
30 download. This option by itself only enables downloading to the
31 volatile memory, i.e. the card RAM. This option is required to
32 support cards that don't have firmware in flash, such as D-Link
33 DWL-520 rev E and D-Link DWL-650 rev P.
34
35 Firmware image downloading needs a user space tool, prism2_srec.
36 It is available from http://hostap.epitest.fi/.
37
38config HOSTAP_FIRMWARE_NVRAM
39 bool "Support for non-volatile firmware download"
40 depends on HOSTAP_FIRMWARE
41 ---help---
42 Allow Host AP driver to write firmware images to the non-volatile
43 card memory, i.e. flash memory that survives power cycling.
44 Enable this option if you want to be able to change card firmware
45 permanently.
46
47 Firmware image downloading needs a user space tool, prism2_srec.
48 It is available from http://hostap.epitest.fi/.
