Did you do it with ndiswrapper or did you find a native driver?

ndiswrapper really is not a bad thing, the difference in performance between a native driver and using ndiswrapper is only slight.

actually ive noticed the stuff i get working on ubuntu actually run a tad faster, been trying to get a .net subsitute so i can run daoc but the one i found doesnt like the dawn of light loader for the freeshard. unfortunately while i can read, understand and copy/paste code i have no talent in writing my own

gives me something to do :)
