Version 1 cards are not supported, but the vast bulk of cards are prism 2, 2.5 or 3. This kernel module is for [Linux], and replaces orinoco_cs and hermes. It allows your linux box to act as an access point, and offloads a lot of the framing work to the NIC's firmware, rather than doing it all in software. |
