   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.

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