Ndiswrapper 1.5.3 per Mandriva 2007.1 e 2008.1.

Nuova versione del tool per usare i driver windows (ad esempio per schede wireless).

Il noto tool per “wrappare” i driver windows, per periferiche altrimenti non usabili sotto linux.

Bug fix ed altro:

* Implemented va_list conversion for x86_64, which fixes oops in vsprintf() and vsnprintf().
* Fixed oops on unload if using our workqueue implementation with SMP enabled.
* Don’t change the actual thread priority, just pretend it was changed.
* Implemented format string conversion for x86_64, so that Windows long is mapped to Linux int.
* Fixed most sparse warnings.
* Simplified code and build system to remove already broken support for Linux versions prior to 2.6.16.
* Added .size and .type for all functions in win2lin_stubs.S to improve backtrace on x86_64.
* Fixed rx key authentication sequence number conversion from Windows to Linux so WPA authentication doesn’t sometimes go into re-key auth loop.

Con questo tool NON si cerca di implementare tutte le specifiche del Ndis API, ma piuttosto implementa le funzioni occorrenti per far funzionare queste schede non supportate.
