[olug] ndniswrapper installation

Tue Dec 13 16:57:53 UTC 2005

My experience with NDISWrapper is to provide the install CD-ROM and 
locate the Windows 2k or XP driver and provide that to NDISWrapper.  
Granted, my ONLY experience with NDISWrapper is using Mandriva 2006, but 
there was an easy to use config utility that asked me to locate the 
driver during the setup process.  Once loaded, the machine works smooth 
as silk, auto loads during startup and retains all security preferences 
during a reboot!  As always, your mileage may vary greatly!
