+This is a short intro for writing new AP drivers for changing WEP keys
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+If you plan to implement a new driver for chaning WEP keys for APs
+consider the following points:
+
+1) Have a look on src/iwkey.[ch]. That is the implementation for
+ changing WEP keys on the local machine by using the Linux wireless
+ extensions. Create a new copy of these files and adjust it to your
+ needs. You have to create a new global instance of "struct key_api"
+ and fill it in.
+
+2) Edit src/keyapi.c and modify key_api_get() to return your structure
+ you defined earlier when the given argument matches your driver.
+
+3) Make a patch and send it to me.
