That is a very fine distinction, if it's a distinction at all, considering that the latter statement can easily be rewritten "ndiswrapper is necessary in order for you to load drivers for hardware $foo", which is almost identical to the former. Also, the latter statement isn't really 100% valid, since Debian will still run without the ndiswrapper driver. It just won't be able to connect to wireless networks. As far as the second statement being the reason that most of us want ndiswrapper in main, that may be true, but it is no excuse to ignore rules that are very clearly laid out in the SC and DFSG. --Adam -- Adam McKenna <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
