I was looking for more developer-oriented info for ndiswrapper to see if I can
fix the XP 64-bit realtek driver on x86_64 linux to see how it compares with the
new native driver, and found two other places Pavel spends his time on (broadcom
firmware cutter and ndiswrapper). He just committed a patch within the last day
or two to ndiswrapper trunk to fix the build problem I saw - apparently it is
WEXT change scheduled for 2.6.27. I saw it sooner than I should because I
was testing John's new redhat rawhide 2.6.26-rc9 kernel with the new rtl8187b
driver.

If ndiswrapper trunk doesn't work with 64-bit realtek, I am probably going to
dig in to see what's wrong with it. Wish me luck!
