help
Shared driver code for IEEE 802.11b wireless cards based on
Intersil Prism2/2.5/3 chipset. This driver supports so called
Host AP mode that allows the card to act as an IEEE 802.11
access point.
See <http://hostap.epitest.fi/> for more information about the
Host AP driver configuration and tools. This site includes
information and tools (hostapd and wpa_supplicant) for WPA/WPA2
support.
This option includes the base Host AP driver code that is shared by
different hardware models. You will also need to enable support for
PLX/PCI/CS version of the driver to actually use the driver.
The driver can be compiled as a module and it will be called
hostap.
config HOSTAP_FIRMWARE
bool "Support downloading firmware images with Host AP driver"
depends on HOSTAP
help
Configure Host AP driver to include support for firmware image
download. This option by itself only enables downloading to the
volatile memory, i.e. the card RAM. This option is required to
support cards that don't have firmware in flash, such as D-Link
DWL-520 rev E and D-Link DWL-650 rev P.
Firmware image downloading needs a user space tool, prism2_srec.
It is available from http://hostap.epitest.fi/.
config HOSTAP_FIRMWARE_NVRAM
bool "Support for non-volatile firmware download"
depends on HOSTAP_FIRMWARE
help
Allow Host AP driver to write firmware images to the non-volatile
card memory, i.e. flash memory that survives power cycling.
Enable this option if you want to be able to change card firmware
permanently.
Firmware image downloading needs a user space tool, prism2_srec.
It is available from http://hostap.epitest.fi/.
