I came across this in the news today, it seems to be a pretty big
security hole in ndiswrapper.

"Multiple buffer overflows in the ndiswrapper module 1.53 for the Linux
kernel 2.6 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by sending
packets over a local wireless network that specify long ESSIDs."
