 # Known Issues (To be fixed soon!)
-Wifi interfaces are being ignored for now. It is astonishingly hard to query the max bitrate for wifi interfaces 
-because this information is not available through sysfs or procfs. In addition, commands like iwlist or iwfonfig are 
-not reliable. Calling iw would work but it requires root privileges. Netlink and nl80211 are the other way to go but 
-require a lot of knowledge I do not have, yet. And frankly I would only switch one requirement (root privilege) with 
-another dependency (tree). For now I will go with calling iw but I hope I will find a better solution later on ...
+None, so far ...

 Of course you can have the extension loaded automatically by adding the resource `URxvt*perl-ext-common: cdmn` 
 to your .Xresources file. But I would not recommend it at the moment.
 
+## Using cdmn with wireless NICs
+Wireless is a bit of a speciality because there is no constant maximal rx/tx speed. The value is constantly evaluated 
+and unfortunately not available via *sysfs* or *procfs*. Therefore cdmn uses `iw` as part of its calculation. 
+Unfortunately this requires root privileges. To make thinks work, put the following in `/et/sudoers`:

  no mount points exist for it. In addition, if a harddisk is hot-plugged, *cdmn* will not be aware of it.
