Aditionally, only the Linksys driver for the PC-Card version of their implementation has been picking up settings from the AP correctly - but haven't had time to play with this properly or do testing. > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Frank Mayhar" > To: > Cc: > Sent: Thursday, October 28, 2004 12:16 AM > Subject: NDISulator crashness. > > >> I've been using the NDISulator to run my Dell-branded Broadcom wireless >> card (BCM4309) > ... >> Oh, and NDIS is usable with these bugs, it's just annoying to have the >> laptop panic >> every day or two.
