If=20 that is correct, please se page http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/ for= =20 more details. I can't explain in more detail, because I never needed to= =20 make that work. I know it works because I know people that made it work= =2E Not being embbeded with Centrino, I can't realy help much. This being, = I=20 suggest that it copies the name of the device under Windows and search=20 about compatibility with Orinoco, acx100_pci ou other driver. How now it helps.
