Bug Description

[Impact]
Breaks kernel module build with kernel 4.8

[Test Case]
Build kernel module with kernel 4.8

[Regression Potential]
The patch itself none. I thought it's better to do a wholesale update, though - this enables some hardening for the userspace tools.

This also fails with the upgrade to xenial of course, as stated in bug 1662115. So we can either just SRU the patch (if it applies - I hope it does), or just save ourselves some trouble and update the package wholesale from 1.59-6 to 1.60-3:

https://anonscm.debian.org/git/collab-maint/ndiswrapper.git/diff/?id=debian/1.60-3&id2=debian/1.59-6

(The thing is on basic life support, so we can basically just upload new versions, as they are all new upstream micro releases).

summary: - ndiswrapper 1.60-2 ADT test failure with linux 4.8.0-11.12
+ ndiswrapper <= 1.60-2 ADT test failure with linux 4.8.0-11.12

Hello Andy, or anyone else affected,

Accepted ndiswrapper into xenial-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ndiswrapper/1.60-3~ubuntu16.04.1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!

Is it possible to use this in LM 18.1? What repositories can I add in order to test this fix? Thanks.
