| 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. | |

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". | |
