Host AP driver has code to support writing firmware to non-volatile memory, a.k.a. flash. This code has been extensively tested when Host AP was a standalone driver. Add a configuration option to the kernel to allow enabling this functionality. Improve the description of the RAM download option. Mention cards that require it. Remove obsolete scary comment.

Shared driver code for IEEE 802.11b wireless cards based on
|
|
Intersil Prism2/2.5/3 chipset. This driver supports so called
|
|
Host AP mode that allows the card to act as an IEEE 802.11
|
|
access point.
|
|
|
|
See <http://hostap.epitest.fi/> for more information about the
|
|
Host AP driver configuration and tools. This site includes
|
|
information and tools (hostapd and wpa_supplicant) for WPA/WPA2
|
|
support.
|
|
|
|
This option includes the base Host AP driver code that is shared by
|
|
different hardware models. You will also need to enable support for
|
|
PLX/PCI/CS version of the driver to actually use the driver.
|
|
|
|
The driver can be compiled as a module and it will be called
|
|
"hostap.ko".

---help---
|
|
Configure Host AP driver to include support for firmware image
|
|
download. This option by itself only enables downloading to the
|
|
volatile memory, i.e. the card RAM. This option is required to
|
|
support cards that don't have firmware in flash, such as D-Link
|
|
DWL-520 rev E and D-Link DWL-650 rev P.
|
|
|
|
Firmware image downloading needs a user space tool, prism2_srec.
|
|
It is available from http://hostap.epitest.fi/.

Allow Host AP driver to write firmware images to the non-volatile

card memory, i.e. flash memory that survives power cycling.
|
|
Enable this option if you want to be able to change card firmware
|
|
permanently.
