hi folks,
the documentation for the pcmcia drivers in doc/mach.texi and
i386/README-Drivers is quite brief so far. The patch along should
improve this a bit.
cheers,
stesie

* doc/mach.texi (Configuration): Document the new PCMCIA drivers a
bit more.
* i386/README-Drivers: Likewise.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] @code
@item --enable-orinoco_cs
+Enables the driver for the Hermes or Prism 2 chipset based PCMCIA
+wireless adapters, with Lucent/Agere, Intersil or Symbol firmware.
+
+This driver is suitable for PCMCIA wireless adapters, such as the
+Lucent WavelanIEEE/Orinoco cards and their OEM (Cabletron/EnteraSys
+RoamAbout 802.11, ELSA Airlancer, Melco Buffalo and others).
+It should also be usable on various Prism II based cards such as the
+Linksys, D-Link and Farallon Skyline. It should also work on Symbol
+cards such as the 3Com AirConnect and Ericsson WLAN.
