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.
