CONFIG_HOSTAP_DRIVER
 Host AP driver for Intersil Prism2/2.5/3
 ========================================

 This is a Linux driver for wireless LAN cards based on Intersil's
 Prism2/2.5/3 chipset. The driver supports a so called Host AP mode, i.e.,
 it takes care of IEEE 802.11 management functions in the host computer
 and acts as an access point. This does not require any special
 firmware for the wireless LAN card. In addition to this, it has some
 support for normal station operations in BSS and possible also in
 IBSS. However, the orinoco_cs driver in current 2.4 kernel tree or
 pcmcia-cs package or linux-wlan-ng is probably better supported
 solution for cases that do not use Host AP mode.

 Intersil's station firmware for Prism2/2.5/3 chipset supports a so called
 Host AP mode in which the firmware takes care of time critical tasks
 like beacon sending and frame acknowledging, but leaves other
 management tasks to host computer driver. This driver implements basic
 functionality needed to initialize and configure Prism2/2.5/3-based cards,
 to send and receive frames, and to gather statistics. In addition, it
 includes an implementation of following IEEE 802.11 functions:
 authentication (and deauthentication), association (reassociation, and
 disassociation), data transmission between two wireless stations,
 power saving (PS) mode signaling and frame buffering for PS
 stations. The driver has also various features for development
 debugging and for researching IEEE 802.11 environments like access to
 hardware configuration records, I/O registers, and frames with 802.11
 headers.

CONFIG_HOSTAP_UTILS
 Utility programs for Host AP driver for Intersil Prism2/2.5/3
 =============================================================

 hostap_crypt_conf
 =================
 hostap_crypt_conf is a tool for configuring encryption keys to the
 Host AP driver. It extends the features of iwconfig by supporting
 individual per STA keys and support more than one encryption
 algorithm.

 hostap_diag
 ===========
 Diagnostics tools for showing details of Prism2/2.5/3 configuration.

 hostap_io_debug
 ===============
 Debugging tool for generating human readable debug log from Host AP
 driver io_debug file.


 hostap_rid
 ==========
 Debugging tool for reading and writing Prism2/2.5/3 RID values.

 prism2_param
 ============
 prism2_param is a shell script wrapper for 'iwpriv wlan0 prism2_param
 <param> <val>' command. The wrapper translates parameter names from
 text format into a integer value used in the real iwpriv command.

 prism2_srec
 ===========
 Firmware image downloaded for Host AP driver

 split_combined_hex
 ==================
 Tool for splitting combined S3 image files into seprate hex
 files. This can be used to convert combined firmware image files,
 e.g., extracted from some Windows drivers, into separate image files
 that can then be downloaded using prism2_srec.

CONFIG_HOSTAPD
 hostapd - user space IEEE 802.11 AP and IEEE 802.1X Authenticator
           for Host AP driver for Intersil Prism2/2.5/3
 =================================================================

 hostapd is an optional user space component for Host AP driver. It
 adds more features to the basic IEEE 802.11 management included in the
 kernel driver: using external RADIUS authentication server for MAC
 address based access control, IEEE 802.1X Authenticator and dynamic
 WEP keying, RADIUS accounting.
