  12 This package may include either wpa_supplicant, hostapd, or both. See
  13 README file respective subdirectories (wpa_supplicant/README or
  14 hostapd/README) for more details.

  16 Source code files were moved around in v0.6.x releases and compared to
  17 earlier releases, the programs are now built by first going to a
  18 subdirectory (wpa_supplicant or hostapd) and creating build
  19 configuration (.config) and running 'make' there (for Linux/BSD/cygwin
  20 builds).
