Hi, We need an FAQ. Especially with an entry saying that Centrino is not supported, because I'm drowning in mail that says "My centrino card is not working" :) Does anyone feel like maintaining a FAQ? This job involves monitoring this mailing list and the forums and pick up frequent questions, point users to the FAQ and generally being a nice guy. /Pontus |

ladies and gents: in the FAQ, at the top it says not to post questions into the wiki, but to the mailing lists or forums. could we please hyperlink this to the mailing list page and forum page? config_4kstacks: I looked for a long time for CONFIG-4STACKS in the .config file and in the xconfig interface therefore (ndiswrapper complains when e-merging)---and for me, the kernel was the vanilla kernel release candidate 2.6.13-rc2. eventually, I found something in arch/i386/defconfig that stated CONFIG_4STACKS=y . It would be good if the FAQ and troubleshooting descriptions could be a bit more explicit what to do here. regards, /iaw |

Hi, > We need an FAQ.

There you could also make a link for centrino related information just pointing to your "centrino-does not work yet" mail and telling the people that as soon centrino works you'll announce it. andreas |

The homepage is updated now, but we still need an FAQ for other questions! /Pontus |

Things I would most surely put in the FAQ: 1. What is ndiswrapper 2. What cards are supported 3. Why isn't card foo supported 4. How can I help 5.

A state approximation, ie, WEB dosn't work yet, just so you know that it's NYI. i'll do a cvs checkout tomorrow or so and i'll add some comments then...
