# 1. Some notes based on  BLFS  (Beyond Linux From Scratch) documenta-
# tion:

# To use Wireless Tools,  the kernel must have the appropriate drivers
# and other support  available.  The  appropriate  bus  must  also  be
# available. For many laptops, the PCMCIA bus (CONFIG_PCCARD) needs to
# be built. In some cases, this bus support will also need to be built
# for  embedded wireless cards.  The  appropriate  bridge support also
# needs to be built.  For many modern laptops, the CardBus host bridge
# (CONFIG_YENTA) will be needed.

# In addition to the bus,  the actual driver for the specific wireless
# card must also be available.  There are many wireless cards and they
# don't all work with Linux.  The first place to look for card support
# is the kernel.  The  drivers are  located  in Device Drivers -> Net-
# work  Device Support -> Wireless LAN (non-hamradio).  There are also
# external drivers available for some very common cards.  For more in-
# formation, visit:

#     http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/WirelessTools

# After the correct drivers  are loaded,  the interface will appear in
# "/proc/net/wireless".
