That's true, thanks. I forgot that this exists, and I don't have the permission to set Won't fix - which is somewhat annoying, as the person maintaining the package. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/105013 Title: Feature Request: Support NDIS 6 (Windows Vista family) WiFi drivers To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ndiswrapper/+bug/105013/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Julian Andres Klode, thanks for commenting to this. It appears that Won't Fix would work better here, given it's a live issue that would help folks if implemented, but it's not going to happen via downstream maintainership, given the previously mentioned downstream scope. Also, the stated WORKAROUND here unfortunately is buy different hardware. This allows the discussion to continue, but downstream maintainers and developers are moving on to other things. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/105013 Title: Feature Request: Support NDIS 6 (Windows Vista family) WiFi drivers To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ndiswrapper/+bug/105013/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 105013] Re: Feature Request: Support NDIS 6 (Windows Vista family) WiFi drivers
This is of course very unfortunate, but there's nothing that can be done here: ndiswrapper has no active upstream developers more (last upstream change was in January 2014 (!)) and downstream we just focus on allowing it to build with newer kernel versions.

This will most likely never happen.

Have added a bugwatch for the ndiswrapper sourceforge page, however I WOULD NOT recommend anyone hang around waiting for this to be implemented, all indications seem to be that progress is very slow, and I've seen no sign that they're even close to implementing full or even partial support. I would recommend anyone looking at getting a wireless network card that works with linux or ubuntu look at this page: http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/catalog/category/NETWORK and choose a network card that natively supports linux. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/105013 Title: Feature Request: Support NDIS 6 (Windows Vista family) WiFi drivers -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I am reopening this bug because it is more than 3 years siince it was marked invalid for the reason Marking this bug as Invalid for the time being because stable support for these drivers is far away.

[Bug 105013] Re: Feature Request: Support NDIS 6 (Windows Vista family) WiFi drivers
I figured out that my problem was caused by a bug (https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detailaid=3093376group_id=93482atid=604452) in ndiswrapper (not lack of support for NDIS6), however my reason for opening the bug is stil valid I think.

[Bug 105013] Re: Feature Request: Support NDIS 6 (Windows Vista family) WiFi drivers
Support for NDIS 6 drivers is being worked on, It doesn't have a very high priority, because Windows XP is still too popular to stop vendors from shipping XP-drivers. Help with development is definitely needed. Marking this bug as Invalid for the time being because stable support for these drivers is far away.

If there are, they aren't on the web sites that I have looked at (from the vendor of the card and the PC). It's alright, though; I wound up just running wires. The only driver that works correctly can't be used/controlled by NetworkManager. It's a native one written by the company (and available on their site). The (beta!) driver currently shipping with Ubuntu doesn't work at all unless the PC has been in Windows Vista for an init first, though. Or using the older Linux driver. But, all of that is just too much a hassle. *shrugs* I'd love to help with development, if only I knew how on these issues. -- Feature Request: Support NDIS 6 (Windows Vista family) WiFi drivers https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/105013 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
