None. NDISWrapper is a fine project, that help some of us to run a hardware, even if hardware provider didn't care about Linux. Sure, it would be better to have native drivers, but since getting bigger parts of market takes time, and some people actualy LIKE to have WiFi cards, this is a temp. solution. :) Previous Message by Thread: click to view message previewSeed proposal: add ndiswrapper-utils to ShipRecently I installed Ubuntu for a friend, who was using a Microsoft USB wireless adapter.
