README for KOrinoco

TOC:

1) Compilation problems
2) AccessPoint location database
3) config file format



1) COMPILATION PROBLEMS

KOrinoco uses the wireless-tools v22-pre2. These require some linking with
several headers, which is quite tricky. If KOrinoco refuses to compile,
check the file korinoco/stuff.h. In the first lines, several #define are
mentioned, all but one commented out. By default, this is GLIBC22_HEADER. If
you don't have the newest GLIBC, this won't work. Comment this line out and
uncomment the line for the headers on your machine.
Note: GLIBC_HEADER includes glibs2.1, which is quite popular. You may want
to try this one if you don't know what you have.



2) ACCESSPOINT LOCATION DATABASE

You can add a comment to every MAC address of AccessPoints. After 
"make install" you will find a directory
$KDEDIR/share/apps/korinoco/config/locations
on your system. Every file in this directory is evaluated on application
startup. Files in there must have the format

xx:yy:zz:aa:bb:cc COMMENT_FOR_AP

(spaces in the comment ARE allowed). This is wonderful for adding a
geographical location comment to the AP :-) For example: 
12:34:56:78:90:12 DE, Karlsruhe, University, Tulla-Hrsaal
If you have a complete set of AccessPoints for your city/enterprise, feel
free to mail me the list so I can include it in future releases.

3) CONFIG FILE FORMAT

KOrinoco now uses a standard KDE config file. This has the advantage
that it's human-readable and that the KDE config routines are more
error-tolerant than my self-written ones. The name of the file changed
from korinoco.conf to korinocorc in the same directory.
