Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!

+ README
+ ------
+
+ This directory is mostly for Wireless LAN drivers, in their
+various incarnations (ISA, PCI, Pcmcia...).
+ This separate directory is needed because a lot of driver work
+on different bus (typically PCI + Pcmcia) and share 95% of the
+code. This allow the code and the config options to be in one single
+place instead of scattered all over the driver tree, which is never
+100% satisfactory.
+
+ Note : if you want more info on the topic of Wireless LANs,
+you are kindly invited to have a look at the Wireless Howto :
+ http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/
+ Some Wireless LAN drivers, like orinoco_cs, require the use of
+Wireless Tools to be configured :
+ http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Tools.html
+
+ Special notes for distribution maintainers :
+ 1) wvlan_cs will be discontinued soon in favor of orinoco_cs
+ 2) Please add Wireless Tools support in your scripts
+
+ Have fun...
+
