+                        BCM43xx Linux Driver Project
+                        ============================
+
+About this software
+-------------------
+
+The goal of this project is to develop a linux driver for Broadcom
+BCM43xx chips, based on the specification at 
+http://bcm-specs.sipsolutions.net/
+
+The project page is http://bcm43xx.berlios.de/
+
+
+Requirements
+------------
+
+1)      Linux Kernel 2.6.16 or later
+        http://www.kernel.org/
+
+        You may want to configure your kernel with:
+
+        CONFIG_DEBUG_FS (optional):
+                -> Kernel hacking
+                  -> Debug Filesystem
+
+2)      SoftMAC IEEE 802.11 Networking Stack extension and patched ieee80211
+        modules:
+        http://softmac.sipsolutions.net/
+
+3)      Firmware Files
+
+        Please try fwcutter. Fwcutter can extract the firmware from various 
+        binary driver files. It supports driver files from Windows, MacOS and 
+        Linux. You can get fwcutter from http://bcm43xx.berlios.de/.
+        Also, fwcutter comes with a README file for further instructions.
