15 Shared driver code for IEEE 802.11b wireless cards based on
16 Intersil Prism2/2.5/3 chipset. This driver supports so called
17 Host AP mode that allows the card to act as an IEEE 802.11
18 access point.
19
20 See <http://hostap.epitest.fi/> for more information about the
21 Host AP driver configuration and tools. This site includes
22 information and tools (hostapd and wpa_supplicant) for WPA/WPA2
23 support.
24
25 This option includes the base Host AP driver code that is shared by
26 different hardware models. You will also need to enable support for
27 PLX/PCI/CS version of the driver to actually use the driver.
28
29 The driver can be compiled as a module and it will be called
30 hostap.

35 help
36 Configure Host AP driver to include support for firmware image
37 download. This option by itself only enables downloading to the
38 volatile memory, i.e. the card RAM. This option is required to
39 support cards that don't have firmware in flash, such as D-Link
40 DWL-520 rev E and D-Link DWL-650 rev P.
41
42 Firmware image downloading needs a user space tool, prism2_srec.
43 It is available from http://hostap.epitest.fi/.

50 card memory, i.e. flash memory that survives power cycling.
51 Enable this option if you want to be able to change card firmware
52 permanently.
