Okay, let's come down a bit and have a cup of coffee first. Sorry for being rude, this was not my intention. I don't expect people to solve problems for free and I'm well aware how free software development works. There is a good chance that you currently use free software where I did some work. But if there is an issue with almost no reaction from developers within 14 months I begin to wonder WTF is going on. A simple "We're working on it..." would not harm. >> > Seriously: because the amount of free time people can invest is limited, >> > and Windows RT isn't high on the personal pain list for one of the >> > Community >> > developers.

I did not know about the new NDIS6 drivers. Now there is a comment mentioning it. Thanks for that. This is all I wanted. -- Thanks, //richard
