+madwifi - a Linux kernel device driver for Wireless LAN chipsets from Atheros.
+
+A wireless card compatibility matrix is available at:
+http://madwifi.org/wiki/Compatibility
+
+By default the script will build the madwifi kernel module for the currently
+running kernel. If you would like to build the madwifi driver for a different
+kernel version, two things are required:
+ 1) kernel source in /usr/src/linux-<version>
+ 2) run the script as: KERNELVERSION=<version> sh madwifi-driver.SlackBuild
+In place of <version> use only the version, not the full path. The <version>
+string from 1) and 2) must be identical.
+ Examples: KERNELVERSION=2.4.33.3 or KERNELVERSION=2.6.18
+The kernel module will then be installed to /lib/modules/<version>/....
+You may use this SlackBuild to build the madwifi module for as many *different*
+kernels as you like and they can be installed alongside each other without
+conflict.
+
+NOTE: MadWifi 0.9.2.1 and earlier do NOT compile against kernel 2.6.19 and
+ higher. MadWifi 0.9.3 will address this issue. SlackBuilds for
+ madwifi-tools and madwifi-driver will be updated when 0.9.3 is
+ released.
+
+Requirements:
+
+Kernel requirements:
+ Linux Kernel 2.4.23+ or 2.6.x series
+ Kernel source and headers of running kernel
+
+ No module versioning support
+ option CONFIG_MODVERSIONS
+ Wireless Extensions support in kernel
+ v14+ required, v17+ recommended; option CONFIG_NET_RADIO
+ Sysctl support in kernel
+ option CONFIG_SYSCTL
+ Crypto API support in kernel
+ option CONFIG_CRYPTO
+ HMAC support
+ option CONFIG_CRYPTO_HMAC
+ AES support (for WPA networks)
+ option CONFIG_CRYPTO_AES
+
+Requirements for configuring the wireless card:
+ madwifi-tools -- suite of tools designed specifically for madwifi-supported cards
+ iwconfig -- part of "wireless-tools" package in /n for Slackware 11.0
+ wpa_supplicant -- for WPA encrypted networks.
+ -- Available in /testing for Slackware 11.0
+
+NOTE: You can place the SlackBuild and slack-desc.{tools,driver} files
+ in the same directory without conflicts, and then you only have to
+ keep one copy of the madwifi source code around...
