CONFIG_NDIS
Some vendors do not release specifications of the hardware or provide
a linux driver for their wireless network cards. This project
implements Windows kernel API and NDIS (Network Driver Interface
Specification) API within Linux kernel. A Windows driver for wireless
network card is then linked to this implementation so that the driver
runs natively, as though it is in Windows, without binary emulation.
Status:
The driver works quite well with many miniPCI (builtin), PCI, PCMCIA
(Cardbus only) and USB cards. Although ndiswrapper is intended for
wireless network cards, other devices are known to work: e.g.,
USB to serial port device, ethernet card, home phone network device
etc.
