1 README 2 ------ 3 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. 11 12 Note : if you want more info on the topic of Wireless LANs, 13you are kindly invited to have a look at the Wireless Howto : 14 http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/ 15 Some Wireless LAN drivers, like orinoco_cs, require the use of 16Wireless Tools to be configured : 17 http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Tools.html 18 19 Special notes for distribution maintainers : 20 1) wvlan_cs will be discontinued soon in favor of orinoco_cs 21 2) Please add Wireless Tools support in your scripts 22 23 Have fun... 24 25 Jean 26
