+Important: The above example uses revision 3925 of the madwifi-ng drivers.  You can use the latest SVN version if you wish.  Just be aware that in some versions injection rates are low or zero.  R3925 is known to work well.
 **Notes**:
-  * The patch above must be applied to madwifi-ng r3745 or above.
+  * Revision 3925 or above MUST be used (latest is always recommended). Older revision are known not to work correctly (some cannot inject or some captured packets are not correct, ...)
+  * The patch above must be applied to madwifi-ng 3925 or above.
   * The patch is designed to eliminate invalid retries.
   * At "make install", you may be asked if you want to remove old modules, type 'r' to do it.

+To determine the PCI ID under linux, enter "lspci -nn".  The output should look similar to this:
