| | 96 | // start orbitmadwifi |
| | 97 | some code here |
| | 98 | // end orbitmadwifi |
| | 99 | }}} |
| | 100 | |
| | 101 | The tar file attached to this page is meant to be extracted in this directory: |
| | 102 | {{{ |
| | 103 | node1-1:/usr/src/madwifi/trunk# tar -xvf orbitfilter.tgz |
| | 104 | }}} |
| | 105 | |
| | 106 | Next you'll need to make the changes and install them |
| | 107 | {{{ |
