There is a license problem. Ndiswrapper is needed for certain (windows) closed source network drivers which cannot be legally inserted into a GPL
I *may* be wrong, but in this case you're not violating any license because you OWN the hardware, and the software that comes with it.
You may own the hardware but not the software, it is only licenced for use with the hardware.
The issue about close vs GPL, is already solved, the same way as NVIDIA drivers.
I agree with this, works the same way as the NVidia and ATI drivers do. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998
