#37 Please add IoWMIOpenBlock,IoWMIQueryAllData support (RTL8192CE)

[Todor Todorov]

Hello,

Thanks for the good work done on ndswrapper!

On my RTL8192CE card for version 1.57 I had:
ndiswrapper (import:232): unknown symbol: ntoskrnl.exe:'IoWMIQueryAllData'
ndiswrapper (import:232): unknown symbol: ntoskrnl.exe:'IoWMIOpenBlock'

In connection with https://sourceforge.net/p/ndiswrapper/bugs/263/ I saw that IoWMIOpenBlock,IoWMIQueryAllData "dummy" functions have been added for 1.58rc1.

Now I receive:
[ 281.312226] ndiswrapper version 1.58rc1 loaded (smp=yes, preempt=no)

Could you please consider adding RTL8192 support? The card has "native linux" driver, but it is buggy and I saw many complaints while googling.

Thanks a lot,
Todor

I also have a PCI express card that requires these imports to load the XP driver (the Asus PCE-AC68). I see that this feature is unread, but grouped for the next release. What does that mean? Is this going to be supported?
