- 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.
+ This enables support for FullMAC PCI/Cardbus prism54 devices. This
+ driver is now deprecated in favor for the SoftMAC driver, p54pci.
+ p54pci supports FullMAC PCI/Cardbus devices as well. For details on
+ the scheduled removal of this driver on the kernel see the feature
+ removal schedule:
+
+ Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt
+
+ For more information refer to the p54 wiki:
