+MadWifi - a Linux kernel device driver for Wireless LAN chipsets from Atheros.
+
+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.
+
+A wireless card compatibility matrix is available at:
+http://madwifi.org/wiki/Compatibility
+
+This SlackBuild builds the madwifi tools, not the kernel module.  You will
+need to use the "madwifi-driver" SlackBuild to build the madwifi module for
+your kernel version.
+
+Requirements for configuring the wireless card:
+  iwconfig -- part of "wireless-tools" package in /n for Slackware 11.0
+  wpa_supplicant -- if you use WPA encryption. 
+                 -- 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...
