Linus Torvalds 1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-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!

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...
