/*这个mac80211子系统包可以在大多数2.6.18版本以上内核安装，你可以通过 uname -r确定你linux的内核版本*/

This archive provides a package for the mac80211 subsystem, 
installable into most kernels with a version of 2.6.18 or
later.  You can determine your kernel version by running:

% uname -r

/*注：mac80211子系统被一群团体开发。为了使它被更广泛的使用，intel把这些包装系统放在一起*/

NOTE:  The mac80211 subsystem is being developed by a group of
community developers.  Intel put together this packaging system
in order to better facilitate the widespread availability and
adoption of the subsystem.

/*这个文件概述了mac80211包为什么存在，它有什么用，怎样安装使用它。*/
This file provides an overview of why the mac80211 package exists,
what it does, and how it does it.

/*快速安装步骤*/
Quick steps

/*如果你是一个仅仅想要尽可能快的尝试运行它的用户，下面是一些到目前为止最简单的步骤*/
If you're a user that just wants to try and get up and running
as quickly as possible, here are the simplest steps we have so

far:

% make patch_kernel

/*上面这一步，如果运行成功的话，你的当前内核源码树应该已经包含 mac80211 子系统了。接着你应该配置你的内核，加载mac80211 子系统模块*/

/*本人注：我是linux2.6.20版本的内核，在运行这一命令时，提示 “兼容性”问题。*/

The above, if it succeeds, should patch your current running 
kernel source tree to contain the mac80211 subsystem sources.  Now
you need to configure your kernel build to build the mac80211
modules:

/*切换到当前内核源码目录下，配置内核*/
% cd /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build
% make menuconfig

/*按下面进行设置*/
You will want to set the following to <M>:
CONFIG_MAC80211=m

        Networking --->
  Generic IEEE 802.11 Networking Stack (dscape)

You can turn on the sub-options for that subsystem if you want.

/*保存配置，并退出*/
Select 'Exit' until it prompts to save your kernel configuration
and select 'Yes'.  Now you can build the module:

% make modules
% make modules_install

/*注：从mac80211-2.0.0起，你必须配置CONFIG_CFG80211，并且重建你的内核镜像*/
NOTE:  As of mac80211-2.0.0 you must also enable CONFIG_CFG80211 and 
rebuild your main kernel image.  This is because the latest mac80211 
changes re-implement the kernel built-in from net/core/wireless.c as 
part of the net/wireless/ sources.
