Here's the list of patches that ubuntu applies: 01-supplicant_timeout.patch 02-dbus_access_network_manager.patch 04-if_fix.patch 05-debian_backend.patch 06-dispatch_more_events.patch 09_fix_bigendian_words.patch 10-po_fr.patch 11-man_page_sh_name.patch 12_dbus1.0.patch 13-rml-wpa-workarounds.patch 14-j-hostap-supplicant-driver.patch 16_undefined_macros.patch 17_avahi_autoipd.patch 18_static_network-admin.patch 19_interfaces_can_have_more_than_one_instance.patch 20_do_not_take_over_dhcpv4iface_when_v6_is_configured.patch 21_manual_means_always_online.diff 22_manual_config_available_when_connected.patch None of them mention ndiswrapper. The 13-rml-wpa-workarounds.patch, however, does change wext to madwifi, although I don't think it's related. If you'd like, I can do an strace on network manager. _______________________________________________ NetworkManager-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
