I won't resurrect it ever, and I can't see dilinger doing it, therefore it should be removed from the archive. There is now a linux-modules-extra-2.6 conglomerate kernel module package (and also similar for contrib and non-free), and I already submitted ndiswrapper for inclusion in it long before it was freeze time for etch. See #418929. In the wisdom of the maintainers of linux-modules-extra-2.6, they did more important work until it was too late to include in etch release of linux-modules-extra-2.6, and furthermore, they seemed to not want ndiswrapper in that package at all at that time and cited one technical reason (4k stack incompatibility), and one bullshit reason (questioning moral existence of ndiswrapper in main).
