ndiswrapper kernel module requires ndiswrapper-utils

[Andres Salomon]

As the ubuntu kernel comes w/ ndiswrapper.ko, ndiswrapper-utils should probably
be installed in the base system as well. Otherwise, the ndiswrapper kernel
module is useless.

[Matt Zimmerman (mdz)]

ndiswrapper functionality is provided as a convenience for users who otherwise
would be unable to access a network. ndiswrapper-utils is included on the
Ubuntu installation CD (ship seed) so that it is available in these scenarios.

What would be gained by adding it to base? Is there a use case that you feel is
not satisfied by the existing method? ndiswrapper-utils does not seem to meet
the criteria for inclusion in base:

Please reopen if I have misunderstood.

Ah, that's fine, I wasn't aware that it's on the installation cd.
