| 4 | This directory is mostly for Wireless LAN drivers, in their |
| 5 | various incarnations (ISA, PCI, Pcmcia...). |
| 6 | This separate directory is needed because a lot of driver work |
| 7 | on different bus (typically PCI + Pcmcia) and share 95% of the |
| 8 | code. This allow the code and the config options to be in one single |
| 9 | place instead of scattered all over the driver tree, which is never |
| 10 | 100% satisfactory. |

| 12 | Note : if you want more info on the topic of Wireless LANs, |
| 13 | you are kindly invited to have a look at the Wireless Howto : |

| 15 | Some Wireless LAN drivers, like orinoco_cs, require the use of |
| 16 | Wireless Tools to be configured : |

| 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 |

| 23 | Have fun... |
