[JAPANESE]...[ENGLISH]
Mini's patch for WiFi V1.00 was released. 31.Oct.2005


Introduction:

The CLIE NX/NZ users in all parts of the world aspired,
it drew in the dream, and the challenge was done repeatedly.

But, it is a problem to have repeated the failure many times.

At last in now, I completed the patch to make it correspond to
a generic CF wireless LAN card.

This patch is used to use a generic CF wireless LAN card
that uses a lot of Prism2.5 with CLIE NX60/70/73/80 and NZ90.
