  56. This package is an open version of the Qualcomm Atheros Powerline
  57. Toolkit. It may be distributed as a zip, gzip or bzip2 tarball that
  58. contains source code and build scripts for Linux, OpenBSD, MAC OSX
  59. and Microsoft Windows. It also contains documentation in docbook XML,
  60. HTML and plain text format.
  61. We recommend that you open file docbook/index.html with a web browser
