It seems to be problematic to be used with ndiswrapper: 1) Standard Windows driver uses NDIS 6 API, which is not supported by ndiswrapper 2) 64-bit Windows driver [0] can be used with ndiswrapper but causes instabilities after some time of using I've asked for tests of mmiotracer and ndiswrapper on Ubuntu forum [1] [2]. We can at least see what does Windows driver does for this card.
