NDIS Wrapper For Wireless LAN Cards Under GPL

Posted by timothy on Wednesday November 19, 2003 @05:37AM from the subvert-the-cooption-and-vice-versa dept.

An anonymous reader writes " Shortly after Linuxant has released their commercial DriverLoader, Pontus Fuchs has made an NDIS wrapper available under the GPL. Since some vendors refuse to release specifications or even a binary Linux-driver for their Wireless LAN cards he has decided to solve it himself by making a kernel module that can load Microsoft-Windows NDIS drivers. ndiswrapper has been tested with some BroadCom miniPCI cards and it seems to work on some laptops . With some more work it should be possible to support more cards. Hopefully this will be the case for the many owners of Linux laptops based on Intel's Centrino technology. Please contact Pontus if you are interested in helping out!"

ditto! I may have to steal your idea of using 'O' for a variable. Nice how it confuses with '0'.
