This is because of the Windoze drivers they use, to which, obviously, they do not have the source. Since quite a few laptops have built-in wireless cards by companies who will not release an open-source driver, or won't release specs, ndiswrapper and driverloader are the only way to get these cards to work. Please don't tell me to "get a linux-supported wireless card". I don't want the clutter of an external wireless adapter sticking out of my laptop, nor do I want to spend money on a card when I have a free and working solution.
