<h2>
<a id="welcome" name="welcome">Welcome to Haiku!</a></h2>
<p>Thank you very much for checking out Haiku! This is our third public release. We hope to attract new developers to our project and give future users a chance to check out Haiku. We realize that this <i>alpha release</i> does not yet fully live up to the goals that we have set for ourselves and doesn't offer all the features and well-rounded end-user experience planned for the final R1 version. However, we hope that this release lets you discover Haiku's great potential and that you share our excitement.</p>
<p>Visit our project's website <a hrf="http://www.haiku-os.org">Haiku-os.org</a> for the latest news and announcements.</p>

<a id="software" name="wifi">Wifi in Haiku</a></h2>
<p>Wifi does work to some extent. At the moment you can only connect to unencrypted or WEP encrypted wireless networks. Due to several different licensing policies of different vendors, a manual installation process for the firmware may be required. A list of working devices and instructions for installation can be found on our <a href="en/wifi.html">Wifi</a> page (also <a href="http://www.haiku-os.org/guides/wifi">online</a>).</p>
<p>Haiku supports wireless networks that are WPA/WPA2 or WEP encrypted and of course open, unencrypted connections. Due to several different licensing policies of different hardware vendors, a manual installation process for the firmware may be required. You'll find more information on supported hardware, firmware installation and how to join a wireless network in the Haiku User Guide's <a href="../userguide/en/workshop-wlan.html">Workshop: Wireless networking</a>.</p>

<p>Since Haiku is a reimplementation, the API is still the same as for BeOS R5 (with some additions). Therefore the documentation in the Be Book is still a valid resource. Thanks to ACCESS, who owns the rights to former Be Inc. property, we are allowed to provide a copy of the Be Book.</p>

Deviations from the BeOS API and Haiku specific additions are collected in the Haiku Book.</p>
