 Intel 82371 PIIX (Triton I/II) DMA support

   If your PCI system uses an IDE harddrive (as opposed to SCSI, say)

-  These are cards for wireless ethernet-like networking. Supported are

-  more specific information is contained in

+    The Lucent Wavelan (formerly NCR and AT&T ; or DEC RoamAbout DS)
+  is a Radio LAN (wireless ethernet-like) at 900 MHz and 2.4 GHz.
+    This driver support the ISA version of the Wavelan. A driver for
+  the pcmcia hardware is available in David Hinds's pcmcia package.
+    This driver is fairly stable and may be compiled as a module
+  (wavelan.o). It implements many nice feature and the Wireless
