These concerns have been raised already, and found to be insufficient. There are several points: 1) ndiswrapper is broken already, and works sheerly by luck anyways; NT stacks are 12kb, so you're already asking for stack overflows by using it. 2) ndiswrapper encourages use of binary drivers instead of the open- source ones that need the testers, so you're only hurting yourselves in the long run. 3) All the in-kernel problems have been fixed, and this makes a lot of stuff less fragmentation-prone and more reliable. Does anybody have any _in_kernel_ bugreports which are unaddressed, or maybe something out-of-kernel that is not handled by the above points? Cheers, Kyle Moffett -- There is no way to make Linux robust with unreliable memory subsystems, sorry. It would be like trying to make a human more robust with an unreliable O2 supply.
