4 This directory is mostly for Wireless LAN drivers, in their
5various incarnations (ISA, PCI, Pcmcia...).
6 This separate directory is needed because a lot of driver work
7on different bus (typically PCI + Pcmcia) and share 95% of the
8code. This allow the code and the config options to be in one single
9place instead of scattered all over the driver tree, which is never
10100% satisfactory.
