What my post is saying is that the time required to build (compile) ndiswrapper is insignificant. 40 seconds at most is nothing. The original poster is simply annoyed that he has to recompile with each kernel update. He isn't complaining about compatibility issues.Hi
Building ndiswrapper is not complex. It's not more than 40 seconds on a
200 Mhz Pentium II.
oh yes. it is. it is incompatible with 4k stacks for many drivers. disabling 4 stacks would have other performance related side effects. someone will have to be assigned to maintain that package and fix all bugs related to this for supporting proprietary windows drivers. how does that match fedora's goal in ANY way

On that subject I agree with you, I am sure ndiswrapper is incompatible with a wide array of drivers...but I see this as mainly growing pains for the ndiswrapper project. Their developers will no doubt fix the issue when they have time. Meanwhile, ndiswrapper works great with the drivers that came with my Buffalo card. If I'm not using that then the prism54.org driver I use for my Intersil chipset-based cards is always there, so I'm covered either way.
