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 : + http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/ + Some Wireless LAN drivers, like orinoco_cs, require the use of +Wireless Tools to be configured : + http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Tools.html + + 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... + + Jean |
