I don't believe it will require a 64-bit Windoze driver.
Of cause it does! Ndiswrapper is simply a wrapper that translates NDIS API calls to Linux kernel calls. As you can't mix 32 and 64 bit code, the driver has to match the kernel, i.e. for a 64 bit kernel you'd need a 64 bit driver.
<soapbox> Once again it shows why binary-only drivers are bad and therefor why products needing them should be avoided if possible. </soapbox>

64-bit certainly teaches you that lesson big time! Once there is a 32-bit binary module involved, you are out of luck, fact not soapbox. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce .... Hamradio G3VBV and keen Flyer =====LINUX ONLY USED HERE=====
