+meta-networking
+===============
+
+This layer is intended to be a central point for networking-related
+packages and configuration.  It should be useful directly on top of
+oe-core and compliments meta-openembedded.  It should be primarily useful
+to the following groups:
+
+      - Anyone building a small networking device (eg. a home router /
+        bridge / switch).
+
+      - Anyone wanting to add network services to their device (eg.
+        anything that might benefit from a small ftp/tftp server)
+
