Commit 1d794e3b ("Staging: wavelan: delete the driver") removed the
source, so remove the documentation as well.

	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/wireless/wavelan*

	o in-line doc :	.../drivers/net/wireless/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://web.archive.org/web/*/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 ;-)
