- If you enable this you will need a firmware file as well.
- You will need to copy this to /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/isl3890.
- You can get this non-GPL'd firmware file from the Prism54 project page:
- <http://prism54.org>
- You will also need the /etc/hotplug/firmware.agent script from
- a current hotplug package.
-
- Note: You need a motherboard with DMA support to use any of these cards
-
- If you want to compile the driver as a module ( = code which can be
- inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want),
- say M here and read <file:Documentation/kbuild/modules.txt>.
- The module will be called prism54.ko.
+ This enables support for FullMAC PCI/Cardbus prism54 devices. This
