Seems, the ndiswrapper module is not part of the OSS distribution anymore. This is based on some basic misunderstanding, I believe. Quoting my comment in Bugzilla: "This is from SourceForge.net: Ndis driver wrapper for the Linux kernel Project Admins: kiszka, pgiri, pof Operating System: Linux License: GNU General Public License (GPL) Therefore: there are no licensing issues around ndiswrapper. If someone "feels" there are since one uses the ndiswapper module to make proprietary drivers availabe for linux one would need to exclude e.g. ghostview or koffice or samba and especially mount, too, since all these pieces of software make proprietary bits and pieces available to linux. mount enables vfat and ntfs, koffice enables MS word files and ghostview even manipulates pdf." I'd be happy to know what others think and recommend around this issue. FMF
