8051 micro controller Clock generator?

We are doing a big project, and we came to a conclusion that an 8051 is sufficient for all the work we need to do, but i'm looking for a clock generator circuit to provide the clock frequency of 11.0596Mhz using the XTAL1 and XTAL2 pins.

Thanks in advance.

Update:

@the brainy guy who said there are two pins xtal1 and xtal2 and frequency of 11.0592Mhz. Dint i already tell tat in my question?? I do know there are 2 capacitors. But whats the rating? whats the exact circuit? I want those details plz.

    Download application note AP-155 at the attached link and scroll down the Figure 8. It explains connecting a crystal and two capacitors to the two pins.

    they are called "XTAL1 and XTAL2" because you can connect a 11.0596Mhz crystal to the two pins, with two small capacitors, and that is all you need. Look at the datasheet.

    Again, look at the datasheet. You can't even think of doing this project without a careful study of the datasheet. That's why they are printed and distributed.

    It shows you how to connect the crystal. It also references an Intel app note "AP-155" that you should be able to find on the Intel web side.
