<br>
<br>
For some reason, which is beyond me, I decided to try my wireless card<br>
under FC9. It took me a couple of hours to realize that it's most likely<br>
a Linux driver issue (reading the sources of netplugd turned out helpful).<br>
<br>
<br>
But that's not the issue. While trying to solve the problem, it occurred<br>
to me, that there is a utility named ndiswrapper, which allows Linux to<br>
use the Windows driver. I suppose it's a bit like mplayer using Windows'<br>
codec DLLs (give or take userspace vs. kernelspace?)<br>
<br>
<br>
In other words: There is no such thing as "no driver for Linux". At<br>
least not for wireless cards (or any network card?)<br>
<br>
<br>
See <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NdisWrapper" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NdisWrapper</a><br>
<br>
<br>
Question: Does anyone have any experience with this utility? Even<br>
better, can anyone give a step-by-step hands-on lecture on how to get<br>
the #%^$%@# card working?<br>
<br>
<br>
Don't tell me to do it. I'm well over my quota of Haifux lectures.<br>
