@@ -8,33 +8,28 @@ 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.
- Example: KERNELVERSION=2.6.22.7
+In place of <version> use only the version as you would see from the output of
+'uname -r' when running that kernel. Example: KERNELVERSION=2.6.27.10-smp
+
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.
-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 series
- wpa_supplicant -- for WPA encrypted networks - in N package series
+This requires madwifi-tools from SlackBuilds.org.
