ndiswrapper-dkms 1.57-1ubuntu1: ndiswrapper kernel module failed to build

[Norman Davis]

Hi,
I had what I believe to be a similar problem with a previous update, and was told by Daniel van Vugt that the "bug" was a duplicate of bug #10901196. So I looked up Ubuntu bug #1090196 and see from the heading its status is "Fix released". However with my limited knowledge of Ubuntu I couldn't see from that page what the fix was, or where it was available. Also if this bug has been fixed, why not integrate the fix into the current upgrades, rather than obliging non-technical people like me to chase it?
Alternatively of course my current bug may not be anything to do with the fixed bug #1090196 in which case I'm now reporting it as a new problem for your attention,
Cheers, Norm

Please note the "Fix Released" status of bug 1090196 applies to Ubuntu 12.10 and later. That bug has a line showing "Nominated for Precise by Daniel van Vugt" which means the fix is missing in 12.04 and we would like it there. See also:
