-WHAT'S NEW IN RELEASE 5.60.48.36
---------------------------------
-+ Supports up to linux kernel 2.6.32
+ISSUES FIXED AND WHAT'S NEW IN THIS RELEASE
+-------------------------------------------
++ Added cfg80211 API support. The choice of API is done at compile time. If
+kernel version >= 2.6.32, cfg80211 is used, otherwise wireless extension 
+is used. (End users should notice little difference.)
++ Supports Linux kernel 2.6.38
++ Fix for problem with rebooting while wireless disabled via airline switch.
++ Fixed a kernel panic observed on some 64-bit systems
+
+HOW TO USE MONITOR MODE
+-----------------------
+To enable monitor mode:
+$ echo 1 > /proc/brcm_monitor0
+
+Enabling monitor mode will create a 'prism0' network interface. Wireshark and
+other netwokk tools can use this new prism0 interface.
+
+To disable monitor mode:
+$ echo 0 > /proc/brcm_monitor0
+
+
+ISSUES FIXED AND WHAT'S NEW IN RECENT RELEASES
