Unfortuntely, no kernel developer gives a friggin hoot about ndiswrapper. If 
it's broken, nobody will really care about it. Sorry.

I've done my homework, and use hardware that's supported by native Linux 
drivers (Centrino). Since there has not been a .22 kernel errata update for 
F7, yet, I haven't yet installed it, but, I have no reasons to expect any 
problems with wireless, when I do.

Such are the benefits of using Linux drivers with Linux, instead of Windows 
drivers with Linux.
