1 Many vendors do not release specifications of the hardware or provide
2 a Linux driver for their wireless network cards.
3 This project implements Windows kernel API and NDIS (Network Driver
4 Interface Specification) API within Linux kernel.
5 A Windows driver for wireless network card is then linked to this
6 implementation so that the driver runs natively, as though it is in
7 Windows, without binary emulation.
9 With ndiswrapper, most miniPCI (builtin), PCI, PCMCIA (Cardbus only)
10 or USB wireless network cards work in Linux with x86 or x86-64.
11 Although ndiswrapper is intended for wireless network cards, other
12 devices are known to work: e.g., ethernet cards, USB to serial port
13 device, home phone network device etc.
