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

Note : if you want more info on the topic of Wireless LANs,
|

you are kindly invited to have a look at the Wireless Howto :

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

Special notes for distribution maintainers :
|
||
|
|
1) wvlan_cs will be discontinued soon in favor of orinoco_cs
|
||
|
|
2) Please add Wireless Tools support in your scripts

Have fun...
