Description Matija "hook" Šuklje 2007-09-26 14:53:40 UTC
Ndiswrapper has already reached 1.48 stable

changelog:
* Support for 2.6.23 kernel
* Disassocation with wpa_supplicant is fixed (earlier, after disassociation, the driver and ndiswrapper would be configured differently, requiring unloading and reloading of ndiswrapper module)
* (Re)Association / (Re)Authentication issues with wpa_supplicant with 2.6.23 kernels fixed
* Fixed an issue with 64-bit Broadcom drivers that cause ntos_wq worker thread to take up all the CPU in some cases

I just experienced serious ntos_wq CPU usage on my laptop, so I tried to get 1.48 working and succeeded by:
* copying the ebuild for 1.47 to 1.48
* removing the 'epatch' line in it
* emerging and being happy that my laptop works again
