+	README
+	------
+
+	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 :
+		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 :

+
+	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...
+
