=== Also known (in IBM literature) as.... ===<br />
* IBM High Rate Wireless LAN Mini PCI Adapter<br />
=== Firmware ===<br />
[http://linux.junsun.net/intersil-prism/ Jun Sun's mini-HOWTO] explains how to update the firmware from Windows or Linux. Station Firmware 1.7.4 is recommended if you need support for WPA. The link below is broken.<br />
<br />
A firmware update package for the wireless function of this adapter is available from IBM.<br><br />
The available firmware version is 1.04.09.00 and is available [http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=ibm&lndocid=MIGR-44289 here]<br />
<br />
=== Linux WiFi driver ===<br />
This adapter works with the '[[orinoco|orinoco_pci]]' driver as part of any recent 2.4 or 2.6 kernel. In addition the '[[hostap]]' driver can also be used.<br />
<br />
The hostap driver supports WPA which the orinoco driver does not. WPA usage might require flashing the NIC's firmware, detailed intructions are available on [http://linux.junsun.net/intersil-prism/ this page].<br />
<br />
=== Linux Modem driver ===<br />
The Linux driver from [http://www.smlink.com/ SmartLink] supports this device.<br><br />
Latest version of this driver is 2.9.10 and supports both the 2.4 and 2.6 kernels.<br />
The modem works with the "ALSA method" which is detailed in the README that<br />
accompanies the SmartLink driver.<br />
<br />
Note! Since kernel 2.6.12, there is a new ALSA mixer control "off-hook" which has to be<br />
unmuted before the modem can be used, e.g. by running "alsamixer -D hw:1".<br />
