PATCH 1/1 Documentation/networking/README.ipw2200
Hi,
This patch is different from the previous one. This is for IPW2200. ;-)
It updates the information/README to match the Kconfig info of the IPW2200.
Please apply to have a better documented 2.6.14
I dunno if this is either handled by Netdev or LKML because is about Documentation/
Thanks,
.Alejandro
