[Madwifi-devel] version misdocumentation: madwifi-ng versus madwifi

[John D. <js...@av...>]

Hi --

If I understand http://madwifi.org/ticket/599
then madwifi-ng is currently "the" codebase, and everybody
should be using that to the exclusion of plain old madwifi.

On the other hand, the download page
  http://madwifi.org/wiki/UserDocs/GettingMadwifi
gives explicit instructions for downloading plain old madwifi.
There are a couple of places where it mumbles something about
madwifi-ng, but nowhere is there any guidance as to who should
download what or why.

That page also says you should
> Visit Releases to find out more about recent and past releases.
and that takes you to
  http://madwifi.org/wiki/Releases
which provides even /less/ useful information.


Everybody (users and developers alike) would be better off if there
were some clear, consistent instructions about who should download
what and why.

FWIW:  personally I have been using madwifi-ng and blissfully assuming
that the instruction to download the other thing is just a bug in the
instructions.
