Bugzilla Bug 112715

ndiswrapper 1.5 does not emerge on my system and most probably this is because  
of kernel 2.4.28. A unhappy combination...  

WORKAROUND: Download ndiswrapper from sourceforge, edit driver/usb.c and 
comment out lines 310-312 so that they look like this: 

//#ifdef USB_ASYNC_UNLINK 
//      urb->transfer_flags |= URB_ASYNC_UNLINK; 
//#endif 

Then it compiles. Maybe this should become a path for 2.4.x kernel based 
systems for the ebuild? 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. unmask ndiswrapper-1.5  
2. Do emerge =ndiswrapper-1.5  


Actual Results:

ndiswrapper-1.7 should fix this.
