1 The Wavelan drivers saga

6 The Wavelan is a Radio network adapter designed by
7Lucent. Under this generic name is hidden quite a variety of hardware,
8and many Linux driver to support it.
9 The get the full story on Wireless LANs, please consult :

12"wavelan" driver (old ISA Wavelan)
13----------------
14 o Config : Network device -> Wireless LAN -> AT&T WaveLAN
15 o Location : .../drivers/net/wireless/wavelan*
16 o in-line doc : .../drivers/net/wireless/wavelan.p.h
17 o on-line doc :

20 This is the driver for the ISA version of the first generation
21of the Wavelan, now discontinued. The device is 2 Mb/s, composed of a
22Intel 82586 controller and a Lucent Modem, and is NOT 802.11 compliant.
23 The driver has been tested with the following hardware :
24 o Wavelan ISA 915 MHz (full length ISA card)
25 o Wavelan ISA 915 MHz 2.0 (half length ISA card)
26 o Wavelan ISA 2.4 GHz (full length ISA card, fixed frequency)
27 o Wavelan ISA 2.4 GHz 2.0 (half length ISA card, frequency selectable)
28 o Above cards with the optional DES encryption feature
29
30"wavelan_cs" driver (old Pcmcia Wavelan)
31-------------------
32 o Config : Network device -> PCMCIA network ->
33 Pcmcia Wireless LAN -> AT&T/Lucent WaveLAN
34 o Location : .../drivers/net/pcmcia/wavelan*
35 o in-line doc : .../drivers/net/pcmcia/wavelan_cs.h
36 o on-line doc :
37 http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Wavelan.html
38
39 This is the driver for the PCMCIA version of the first
40generation of the Wavelan, now discontinued. The device is 2 Mb/s,
41composed of a Intel 82593 controller (totally different from the 82586)
42and a Lucent Modem, and NOT 802.11 compatible.
43 The driver has been tested with the following hardware :
44 o Wavelan Pcmcia 915 MHz 2.0 (Pcmcia card + separate
45 modem/antenna block)
46 o Wavelan Pcmcia 2.4 GHz 2.0 (Pcmcia card + separate
47 modem/antenna block)
48
49"wvlan_cs" driver (Wavelan IEEE, GPL)
50-----------------
51 o Config : Not yet in kernel
52 o Location : Pcmcia package 3.1.10+
53 o on-line doc :
54 http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.fasta.fh-dortmund.de/users/andy/wvlan/
55
56 This is the driver for the current generation of Wavelan IEEE,
57which is 802.11 compatible. Depending on version, it is 2 Mb/s or 11
58Mb/s, with or without encryption, all implemented in Lucent specific
59DSP (the Hermes).
60 This is a GPL full source PCMCIA driver (ISA is just a Pcmcia
61card with ISA-Pcmcia bridge).
62
63"wavelan2_cs" driver (Wavelan IEEE, binary)
64--------------------
65 o Config : Not yet in kernel
66 o Location : ftp://sourceforge.org/pcmcia/contrib/
67
68 This driver support exactly the same hardware as the previous
69driver, the main difference is that it is based on a binary library
70and supported by Lucent.
71
72 I hope it clears the confusion ;-)
