14		'''!MadWifi''' is one of the most advanced WLAN drivers available for Linux today. It is stable and has an established userbase. The driver itself is open source but depends on the proprietary Hardware Abstraction Layer ([wiki:About/HAL HAL]) that is available in binary form only. The current stable release is [wiki:Releases/0.9.4 v0.9.4].

	15	'''In case you use kernel 2.6.25 or newer, you need to get [http://snapshots.madwifi-project.org/madwifi-0.9.4-current.tar.gz this snapshot]''' of the madwifi-0.9.4 branch instead of the v0.9.4 release! That snapshot is basically v0.9.4 plus compilation fixes for recent kernels.

16	17	'''[wiki:About/ath5k ath5k]''' is a relatively new and emerging driver and does not depend on the HAL. It is intended to replace MadWifi in the long run and exceed it feature-wise. [wiki:About/ath5k ath5k] is where most of our development resources are spent on now.
