Ndiswrapper problems with kernels 2.6.23-6.fc8-i686

[Arch Willingham]

I used to use the Livna thing but quit because it always seemed to lag behind the kernel and then it would not work until it was updated. 

Me a maintainer?!?!? I'm just a ding-dong that likes to experiment with Fedora. I have only been messing with it about two years and am definitely no rocket scientist when it comes to Linux (I'm the VP of a construction company and also do the MIS stuff - mostly the "other" operating system - but I now have eight machines running Linux). Most of what I post is probably chuckled at by y'all that really know what you are doing.

No, but you can try the package from livna -- maybe that works (but it's
not the rc, latest official version iirc).

Further: livna/rpmfusion is looking for a maintainer for ndiswrapper.
Would you be interested?  You could do Fedora users a great service by
maintaining it -- it's just easier to compile a Fedora-specific and
pre-compile package in one place and then let thousands of users use it
instead of letting thousands of users install and maintain ndiswrapper
locally and manually.
