+ BCM43xx Linux Driver Project
+ ============================
+
+About this software
+-------------------
+
+The goal of this project is to develop a linux driver for Broadcom
+BCM43xx chips, based on the specification at
+http://bcm-specs.sipsolutions.net/
+
+The project page is http://bcm43xx.berlios.de/
+
+
+Requirements
+------------
+
+1) Linux Kernel 2.6.15 or later
+ http://www.kernel.org/
+
+ You may want to configure your kernel with:
+
+ CONFIG_DEBUG_FS (optional):
+ -> Kernel hacking
+ -> Debug Filesystem
+
+2) SoftMAC IEEE 802.11 Networking Stack extension and patched ieee80211
+ modules:
+ http://softmac.sipsolutions.net/
+
+3) Firmware Files
+
+ Please try fwcutter. Fwcutter can extract the firmware from various
+ binary driver files. It supports driver files from Windows, MacOS and
+ Linux. You can get fwcutter from http://bcm43xx.berlios.de/.
+ Also, fwcutter comes with a README file for further instructions.
