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.

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
