 If you add a devices with the `srv` parameter instead of `address` the exporter will perform a DNS query
 to obtain the SRV record and discover the devices dynamically. Also, you can specify a DNS server to use
 on the query.
 
+Use the option `wifiwave2: true` for devices that have the `wifiwave2` package,
+which replaces the `wireless` implementation, installed. This is necessary as `wifiwave2` has a slightly
+different API and exposes a slightly smaller set of attributes (for example, no signal-to-noise, etc.)
