Package: ndiswrapper-source (1.53-1)

Source for the ndiswrapper Linux kernel module

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.

This package provides the source code for the ndiswrapper kernel module. If you use a standard distribution kernel, you mostly will not need this, but use the pre-compiled modules instead.
