PRISM (chipset)

PRISM wireless networking solutions are a family of Conexant chipsets used for Wireless LANs, and were formerly produced by Intersil Corporation.

[edit] Linux drivers

The open source HostAP driver supports the IEEE 802.11b Prism 2/2.5/3 family of chips.

Wireless adaptors which use the Prism chipset are known for compatibility, and are preferred for specialist applications such as packet capture.
