Sam Morris wrote: Right, but who is Kel--just the bug submitter? I would have submitted a bug myself if I didn't notice this one already in the BTS. Kel is co-maintainer of ndiswrapper and uses his broken email address not just for reporting bugs but also to maintain his packages. It seemed that this bug was being ignored on the pretext that the submitter's email address didn't work, which seems like a stupid reason not to include ndiswrapper in linux-modules-2.6-extra. It has been said that the maintainer must agree before his packages are going to be included. As of now, there is no such sign of agreement, just a signal of noice from a non-working email address. -- Address:Daniel Baumann, Burgunderstrasse 3, CH-4562 Biberist Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Internet: http://people.panthera-systems.net/~daniel-baumann/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#400752: linux-modules-extra-2.6: include ndiswrapper
Hi, ndiswrapper was already heavily discussed if it belongs to main or to contrib. The result is, that it's still in main. I do not think that it is the task of the kernel-team to judge about this /on the conglomeration package/. If the kernel-team disagrees about having ndiswrapper beeing in main, someones has to re-continue the discussion on the ndiswrapper source package, otherwise it shall be accepted that it is in main, including the packages build out of a conglomeration package. Therefore, if ndiswrapper does indeed work with 4k stack, im going to add ndiswrapper to l-m-e-2.6. If it doesn't and will not in the forseeable near future, Kel should please close this bug.
