+                       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 2.6.16 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.
