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!

+ The Wavelan drivers saga
+ ------------------------
+
+ By Jean Tourrilhes <jt@hpl.hp.com>
+
+ The Wavelan is a Radio network adapter designed by
+Lucent. Under this generic name is hidden quite a variety of hardware,
+and many Linux driver to support it.
+ The get the full story on Wireless LANs, please consult :
+ http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/
+
+"wavelan" driver (old ISA Wavelan)
+----------------
+ o Config : Network device -> Wireless LAN -> AT&T WaveLAN
+ o Location : .../drivers/net/wavelan*
+ o in-line doc : .../drivers/net/wavelan.p.h
+ o on-line doc :
+ http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Wavelan.html
+
+ This is the driver for the ISA version of the first generation
+of the Wavelan, now discontinued. The device is 2 Mb/s, composed of a
+Intel 82586 controller and a Lucent Modem, and is NOT 802.11 compliant.
+ The driver has been tested with the following hardware :
+ o Wavelan ISA 915 MHz (full length ISA card)
+ o Wavelan ISA 915 MHz 2.0 (half length ISA card)
+ o Wavelan ISA 2.4 GHz (full length ISA card, fixed frequency)
+ o Wavelan ISA 2.4 GHz 2.0 (half length ISA card, frequency selectable)
+ o Above cards with the optional DES encryption feature
+
+"wavelan_cs" driver (old Pcmcia Wavelan)
+-------------------
+ o Config : Network device -> PCMCIA network ->
+ Pcmcia Wireless LAN -> AT&T/Lucent WaveLAN
+ o Location : .../drivers/net/pcmcia/wavelan*
+ o in-line doc : .../drivers/net/pcmcia/wavelan_cs.h
+ o on-line doc :
+ http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Wavelan.html
+
+ This is the driver for the PCMCIA version of the first
+generation of the Wavelan, now discontinued. The device is 2 Mb/s,
+composed of a Intel 82593 controller (totally different from the 82586)
+and a Lucent Modem, and NOT 802.11 compatible.
+ The driver has been tested with the following hardware :
+ o Wavelan Pcmcia 915 MHz 2.0 (Pcmcia card + separate
+ modem/antenna block)
+ o Wavelan Pcmcia 2.4 GHz 2.0 (Pcmcia card + separate
+ modem/antenna block)
+
+"wvlan_cs" driver (Wavelan IEEE, GPL)
+-----------------
+ o Config : Not yet in kernel
+ o Location : Pcmcia package 3.1.10+
+ o on-line doc : http://www.fasta.fh-dortmund.de/users/andy/wvlan/
+
+ This is the driver for the current generation of Wavelan IEEE,
+which is 802.11 compatible. Depending on version, it is 2 Mb/s or 11
+Mb/s, with or without encryption, all implemented in Lucent specific
+DSP (the Hermes).
+ This is a GPL full source PCMCIA driver (ISA is just a Pcmcia
+card with ISA-Pcmcia bridge).
+
+"wavelan2_cs" driver (Wavelan IEEE, binary)
+--------------------
+ o Config : Not yet in kernel
+ o Location : ftp://sourceforge.org/pcmcia/contrib/
+
+ This driver support exactly the same hardware as the previous
+driver, the main difference is that it is based on a binary library
+and supported by Lucent.
+
+ I hope it clears the confusion ;-)
