PCI version of Prism2.5/3 has undocumented DMA support for TX/RX data, but this seems to have some hardware bugs that prevent it from being used properly for TX. RX side could possibly be made to work reliably. Even though DMA support would be very useful for saving host CPU (from about 40% to 5-10% when operating at maximum throughput), it seems to be best to just remove this code finally. The implementation has always been commented out by default and has received very limited testing. The code may have already been broken number of times and I don't have much interested in trying to verify whether it works or not. Getting this out makes it easier to maintain the driver and allows some cleanups that have been partly postponed because of this experimental bus master/DMA code.

README ------ This directory is mostly for Wireless LAN drivers, in their various incarnations (ISA, PCI, Pcmcia...). This separate directory is needed because a lot of driver work on different bus (typically PCI + Pcmcia) and share 95% of the code. This allow the code and the config options to be in one single place instead of scattered all over the driver tree, which is never 100% satisfactory. Note : if you want more info on the topic of Wireless LANs, you are kindly invited to have a look at the Wireless Howto : http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/ Some Wireless LAN drivers, like orinoco_cs, require the use of Wireless Tools to be configured : http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Tools.html Special notes for distribution maintainers : 1) wvlan_cs will be discontinued soon in favor of orinoco_cs 2) Please add Wireless Tools support in your scripts Have fun...
