linux-wlan-ng is a set of drivers and utilities that is intended to
provide the full range of IEEE 802.11 MAC management capabilities for use
in user-mode utilities and scripts. The package currently supports the
Intersil 802.11b Prism2, Prism2.5, and Prism3 reference designs for
PCMCIA, PCI, and USB. Additionally, the package includes support for the
PLX9052 based PCI to PCMCIA adapter with a few different PCMCIA cards.
.
Please note that you probably do not need this package: The prism2_usb
driver is included in the default kernel packages since 2.6.31.
If you need firmware loading for your prism2_usb device, please just
install the prism2-usb-firmware-installer package.
.
This package ships legacy utilities and scripts for advanced
configuration and user-space firmware downloading (support for
non-USB devices). |

.
This package doesn't contain the firmware files, but a script to download
the upstream source tarball and build a deb that contains them. Note that
only some adapters really need a firmware file and that firmware files are
not completely free (in the sense of freely redistributable), that's why
this package exists.
.
For newer kernels (2.6.31+) which have the in-tree prism2_usb driver,
you can install the prism2-usb-firmware-installer package instead. |

This package provides the source code for the linux-wlan-ng kernel
modules. After installing this you must use module-assistant to compile
and install the modules.
.
Please note that you probably do not need this package: The prism2_usb
driver is included in the default kernel packages since 2.6.31. |
| prism2-usb-firmware-installer | firmware files for the prism2_usb kernel driver | Mehr ... |
prism2-usb-firmware-installer will at the time of its own installation
download the firmware files for the prism2_usb devices from the
upstream code repository and convert them to the format used by the
kernel modules since 2.6.32.
.
The downloaded file will be used as-is by the 2.6.31 kernel. If you
have an earlier kernel you will have to install the
linux-wlan-ng-firmware package instead.
.
Note that only some adapters really need a firmware file and that
firmware files are not completely free (in the sense of freely
redistributable), which is why this package exists.
