-Linux compat drivers compatibility package
-==========================================
-
-This package provides backport support for drivers from newer kernels
-down to older kernels. It currently backports 3 subsystems:
-
-  * Ethernet
-  * Wireless
-  * Bluetooth
-
-This package provides the latest Linux kernel subsystem enhancements
-for kernels 2.6.24 and above. It is technically possible to support
-kernels < 2.6.24 but more work is required for that.
-
-Documentation
-------------
-
-This package is documented online and has more-up-to date information
-online than on this README file. You should read the wiki page
-and not rely on this README!
-
-https://backports.wiki.kernel.org
-
-License
--------
-
-This work is a subset of the Linux kernel as such we keep the kernel's
-Copyright practice. Some files have their own copyright and in those
-cases the license is mentioned in the file. All additional work made
-to building this package is licensed under the GPLv2.
