This directory contains the bits needed to integrate the Madwifi source distribution into a Linux kernel source tree. To do this, unpack the kernel source if needed, then run the install.sh script from this directory. If you want to patch the currently running system you can run install.sh without arguments, otherwise specify the source tree location on the command line: ./install.sh /usr/src/linux The driver sources will be copies into drivers/net/wireless/madwifi and some kernel files will be patched to know about this directory. Now you can run "make menuconfig" or similar command and configure the driver using the normal mechanisms. If the kernel is already configured, run "make oldconfig" to skip the questions you have already answered. If you want to build modules, it's recommended that you use the standalone build rather than integrate the driver into the kernel. Use integrated build to compile Madwifi into the kernel. However, it's possible to build Madwifi modules when the driver is integrated into a 2.6.x kernel.
