NdisWrapper is a [Linux] [Kernel] [Module] that wraps around vendor provided [NDIS] (ie, [Windows]) drivers.

This allows you to take network or wireless card with [Windows]-only drivers and have it work fairly cleanly under [Linux]. I believe NdisWrapper is based on FreeBSD's Project Evil.

-One thing I have found with NdisWrapper is that for Broadcom support I have not had success getting it working on versions greater than .12. The mailing list discussions bear this out as well with lots of problems with releases >1.0 -- IanMcDonald
