NdisWrapper

Some vendors refuse to release specs or even a binary linux-driver for their WLAN cards. This project tries to solve this problem by making a kernel module that can load Ndis (windows network driver API) drivers. We're not trying to implement all of the Ndis API but rather implement the functions needed to get these unsupported cards working.

Status

The driver works quite well on many builtin cards as well as PCMCIA (Cardbus only) cards.

Supported Chipsets

Most chipsets without proper Linux drivers are supported. You can see a list of chipsets here.

Where can I get it?

Releases (source only) can be found here.
The latest source is available by anonymous CVS from sourceforge. Check the project page for more info.
Debian packages can be found here. The userspace utilites can be found in the package ndiswrapper and the module source in ndiswrapper-source. Use make-kpkg to compile it.
If you want to use apt-get add these lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list:
