+# Wireless LAN adapter configuration
+#
+# Theory of operation :
+#
+# The script attempts to match a block of settings to the specific wireless
+# card inserted, the *first* block matching the card is used.
+# The address format is "scheme,socket,instance,hwaddr", with * as a wildcard.
+# 'scheme' is the pcmcia scheme (set via 'cardctl scheme XXX').
+# 'hwaddr' is the unique MAC address identifier of the wireless card.
+# The MAC address is usually printed on the card, or can be found via ifconfig.
+# Some examples here use only half of the MAC address with a wildcard to
+# match a whole family of cards...
+#
+# All the Wireless specific configuration is done through the Wireless
+# Extensions, so we will just call 'iwconfig' with the right parameters
+# defined below.
+# Of course, you need to have iwconfig installled on your system.
+# To download iwconfig, or for more info on Wireless Extensions :
+# http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Tools.html
+#
+# Note : you don't need to fill all parameters, leave them blank, in most
+# cases the driver will initialise itself with sane defaults values or
+# automatically figure out the value... And no drivers do support all
+# possible settings...
+#
+# If you make any mistakes, you'll get a cryptic message in the system
+# log. You'll need to figure out on your own which parameter was wrong:
+# cardmgr[310]: executing: './network start wvlan0'
+# cardmgr[310]: + SIOCSIWMODE: Invalid argument
+# I've tried to give more troubleshooting help at :
+# http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Tools.html#debug
+# In case of doubts, just check "/etc/pcmcia/wireless" for the gory details...
+#
+# Note also that this script will work only with the original Pcmcia scripts,
+# and not with the default Red Hat scripts. Send a bug report to Red Hat ;-)
+#
+# Finally, send comments and flames to me, Jean Tourrilhes <jt@hpl.hp.com>
