Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!

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. | ||
11 | |||
12 | Note : if you want more info on the topic of Wireless LANs, | ||
13 | you are kindly invited to have a look at the Wireless Howto : | ||
14 | http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/ | ||
15 | Some Wireless LAN drivers, like orinoco_cs, require the use of | ||
16 | Wireless Tools to be configured : | ||

18 | |||
19 | Special notes for distribution maintainers : | ||
20 | 1) wvlan_cs will be discontinued soon in favor of orinoco_cs | ||
21 | 2) Please add Wireless Tools support in your scripts | ||
