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
