NdisWrapper
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
NdisWrapper is an open source driver wrapper that enables the use of most wireless network cards on Linux by implementing the Windows kernel and NDIS APIs and dynamically linking the vendor's Windows drivers to this implementation. Many vendors do not release Linux supported drivers for their wireless network cards. There is a list available of all the wireless network cards known to work with NdisWrapper. Also available is a FreeBSD and NetBSD-based equivalent called Project Evil, which functions in the same manner as NdisWrapper — Project Evil is not available in OpenBSD however, due to the project's anti-binary blob policy.
Most Linux distributions distribute NdisWrapper.
