| 10 | Shared driver code for IEEE 802.11b wireless cards based on |
| 11 | Intersil Prism2/2.5/3 chipset. This driver supports so called |
| 12 | Host AP mode that allows the card to act as an IEEE 802.11 |
| 13 | access point. |

| 20 | This option includes the base Host AP driver code that is shared by |
| 21 | different hardware models. You will also need to enable support for |
| 22 | PLX/PCI/CS version of the driver to actually use the driver. |
| 23 | |
| 24 | The driver can be compiled as a module and it will be called |
| 25 | "hostap.ko". |
