Description Fabio Rossi 2008-02-15 22:27:20 UTC 
In the pkg_postinst() function of the ndiswrapper ebuild (all releases) there is a chunk of code which detects the brand name of the network interface (via lspci). The code is wrong because 'lspci -n' reports the class but not the information needed while 'lspci -nn' doesn't report the class.

I created a patch to solve this aesthetic problem :-)
