OK. Here it the error while building kernel module:

Building kernel module... /usr/share/misc/windrv_stub.c:137:13: error:

build failed. Exiting.

That's not so bad, but it seems I'd have to shop for one..

Performance is generally OK with NDIS drivers, the only issue is you often miss 
out on features like promiscuous and monitor mode.

Could you send me the whole file? It’s hard to tell from just that line. Also, 
in answer to your previous question, no, you do not have to repeat the process 
with each OS upgrade. It will only need doing once, except maybe if you rebuild 
world and kernel.

I dl-ed winxp64 driver and tried running:

ndisgen Drt2870.inf Drt2870.sys

but got: "ndiscvt: line 841: :syntax error."
CONVERSION FAILED

Line (last one) 841 of DrtDrt2870.inf is as follows:

BaldEagle_SSID = "amz?;'seimdf^&j$#@ksjdo*(hq!"


Any hint what's wrong there?

So, there is no significant difference in quality between the rsu and urtwn
drivers?

Well, I wanted to avoid extra hassle. :-)

Thank you. I'll try, but I wonder how often I'd have to do it? Every major
upgrade of my OS?

The performance should be equal or on par with reverse-engineered drivers
like rsu/urtwn?
