| 29 | This driver uses the kernel's mac80211 subsystem. |
| 30 | |
| 31 | In order to use this driver, you will need a microcode (uCode) |
| 32 | image for it. You can obtain the microcode from: |
| 33 | |
| 34 | <http://intellinuxwireless.org/>. |
| 35 | |
| 36 | The microcode is typically installed in /lib/firmware. You can |
| 37 | look in the hotplug script /etc/hotplug/firmware.agent to |
| 38 | determine which directory FIRMWARE_DIR is set to when the script |
| 39 | runs. |
| 40 | |
| 41 | If you want to compile the driver as a module ( = code which can be |
| 42 | inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want), |
| 43 | say M here and read <file:Documentation/kbuild/modules.txt>. The |
