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...
