Bugzilla Bug 184973

I'm using
net-wireless/ndiswrapper-1.45
and
net-wireless/ndiswrapper-1.46

since they were available on portage.

They always worked perfect for me.
I'm currently using it to connect to WEP and WPA/PEAP (using wpa_supplicant)
networks.

HW:
00:0a.0 Ethernet controller: Linksys, A Division of Cisco Systems [AirConn]
INPROCOMM IPN 2220 Wireless LAN Adapter (rev 01)

Driver:
neti2220 (64bit) version 02/24/2005 3.07.02.2005

So, what's the bug here? :)

Sorry.. :)

They are currently masked, since they are working very well here, this is
supposed to be a kind of stabilize request.

Isn't this a correct behavior?

I believe =ndiswrapper-1.45 should be stabilized.

I just hit bug 179951 - =ndiswrapper-1.44 will not emerge with Linux kernel
2.6.22, so it is not too useful for most people as it is now.
=ndiswrapper-1.45 emerges fine.

Cheers,
Marcelo

I would prefer to have 1.47 stabled if anything as ndiswrapper is getting a
bunch of bug fixes every release.

x86 stable and closing
