You can also get to it from Linuxant's webpage, but it just links to
the above site.

I can tell you it works great with ndiswrapper 1.1 and the
2.6.10-1.770_FC3 kernel.  I have not had time to try the newer version
of ndiswrapper and have not tried any of it with the new 2.6.11 FC3
kernel (I forget the exact version).
