From 5d7cf67f72ae34d38e090bdfa673da4aefe4048e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alan Stern Date: Tue, 8 Aug 2023 20:44:48 -0400 Subject: Fix nomenclature for USB and PCI wireless devices A mouse that uses a USB connection is called a "USB mouse" device (or "USB mouse" for short), not a "mouse USB" device. By analogy, a WiFi adapter that connects to the host computer via USB is a "USB wireless" device, not a "wireless USB" device. (The latter term more properly refers to a defunct Wireless USB specification, which described a technology for sending USB protocol messages over an ultra wideband radio link.) Similarly for a WiFi adapter card that plugs into a PCIe slot: It is a "PCIe wireless" device, not a "wireless PCIe" device. Rephrase the text in the kernel source where the word ordering is wrong.
