I need help identifying the source related to wireless networking. I
have the kernel 2.6 source tree, what path leads me to the code for the
wireless network card and the support for wireless networking?

I assume there is a directory containing all the drivers for currently
supported wireless network cards (PCMCIA). I also need to know, what
else in the kernel tree directly supports wireless networking. I think
I know one such module, hostap, but what is the path, I did a search
for hostap and found nothing.

Thank you for your time,

Durwin

Most wireless cards that are not USB are Cardbus varieties. The drivers are found in
drivers/net/wireless and its subdirectories.
