PCMCIA, PCI, and USB. Additionally, the package includes support for the

driver is included in the default kernel packages since 2.6.31.
If you need firmware loading for your prism2_usb device, please just
install the prism2-usb-firmware-installer package.
.
This package ships legacy utilities and scripts for advanced
configuration and user-space firmware downloading (support for
non-USB devices).
