Description: Userspace utilities for ndiswrapper
 Some wireless LAN vendors refuse to release hardware specifications or
 drivers for their products for operating systems other than Microsoft
 Windows. NdisWrapper makes it possible to use such hardware with Linux
by
 means of a loadable kernel module that "wraps around" NDIS (Windows
network
 driver API) drivers.
 .
 This package contains the userspace tools. You will also need the
kernel
 module package.
