the Lucent Hermes, Intersil PRISM-II, Intersil PRISM-2.5, and Intersil
Prism-3 chipsets.
All chipsets provide a similar interface to the driver.
Only the Intersil chipsets support access point operation.
Functionality, such as WPA support, depends on the specific version
of the firmware used.
Only the Intersil chipsets support access point operation or WPA.
Very old versions of firmware are not supported at all.
Older versions of the firmware that are supported may severely limit
the ability to use these cards in newer networks.
Only relatively recent versions of Intersil firmware supports WPA.
See CAVEATS for details.
All host/device interaction is via programmed I/O, even on those cards
that support a DMA interface.
