[Ndiswrapper-general] Re: admtek

hi giri

bad news indeed - what's the problem with maintaining the serialized 
interface? (is it just patching/testing or some fundamental ndiswrapper 
structure changes?)

is it possible to enable serialized support with a compile flag?

AFAIK,  admtek has not updated their driver (and the belkin driver for 
my card is based on an older version of that one...), and didn't answer 
any mails either (their linux driver does not work on all cards, but 
they don't seem to mind).

at least, if nothing else works, i guess you should point admtek users 
to an older release (0.4?) - i'm using 0.3+cvs, but i think 0.4 is good 
also.

b.t.w. - i think it possible to write a native driver - admtek released 
a (complete?) specs, and spying though ndiswrapper should tell us the 
rest - i'll try to write one when i have some time (but that will take a 
few months...)
