|  | 27 | This driver uses the kernel's mac80211 subsystem. | 
|  | 28 |  | 
|  | 29 | In order to use this driver, you will need a microcode (uCode) | 
|  | 30 | image for it. You can obtain the microcode from: | 
|  | 31 |  | 
|  | 32 | <http://intellinuxwireless.org/>. | 
|  | 33 |  | 
|  | 34 | The microcode is typically installed in /lib/firmware. You can | 
|  | 35 | look in the hotplug script /etc/hotplug/firmware.agent to | 
|  | 36 | determine which directory FIRMWARE_DIR is set to when the script | 
|  | 37 | runs. | 
|  | 38 |  | 
|  | 39 | If you want to compile the driver as a module ( = code which can be | 
|  | 40 | inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want), | 
|  | 41 | say M here and read <file:Documentation/kbuild/modules.txt>.  The |
