Description-en: Source for the ndiswrapper Linux kernel module (DKMS)
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 ndiswrapper kernel module to be
build with dkms.
