HostAP Drivers with non-Prism2

[Tony Toole]

The reference in the HostAP manual is refering to the Lucent Hermes (which
is also refered as Prism I).  These cards are command-compatible (to an
extent).

The zcom (and Teletronics 2MB) card uses an AMD MAC controler which is not
prism-I compatible.

Try the driver from the Teletronics site, it should compile fine with the
lates pcmcia services, and kernels.

Thanks,
