[Ndiswrapper-general] 1.0-rc1 available

[Giridhar P. <gi...@lm...>]

Release candidate 1.0-rc1 is now available from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/ndiswrapper/. Following is summary of
changes since 0.12. For more degails, see CVS log at
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/ndiswrapper/ndiswrapper/.

 * Spinlock rewrite: This time SMP should work. Really. 
 * Sends multiple packets (if driver supports it) in each send
operation for better efficiency 
 * Most of the functionality of loader is moved to userspace tool
loadndisdriver so it is more robust 
 * Encryption info is restored during disassociation; this is useful
if ad-hoc mode is used as psuedo master mode 
 * MAC address can be set in .conf files (in /etc/ndiswrapper/<driver>
directory) or changed at any time (with 'ifconfig hw class' command) 
 * Association and disassociation should happen quickly especially
with wpa_supplicant 
 * Compilation issues with old gcc and sed are fixed 
 * Kernel crash when ejecting cards with cardctl in 2.4 kernels is
fixed 
 * Works with WPA-Radius and IEEE8021X (in addition to WEP and
WPA-PSK)
