heads up on ndiswrapper

I don't use ndiswrapper on F7 (yet?).  I did set up Ubuntu on a
notebook with ndiswrapper.

I found that the then-current ndiswrapper version, 1.43, did not work.
I then used the repository version, and that didn't work.  Then I let
the author of ndiswrapper to log into my machine and he fixed the
problem (I am truly grateful).  He then adopted those fixes (or
perhaps something better).

I would strongly recommend using 1.46 which has those fixes and
others.  Especially if you have a multi-core CPU.  Read the
description of the changes here:

Livna seems to be distributing 1.43 in
  http://rpm.livna.org/fedora/7/x86_64/
Is that what people are using?
