It is my understanding that the GPL symbols issue was "fixed" in the 2.6.25 kernel. So, in theory, ndiswrapper will work like it did in Gutsy with 2.6.25. YAY!!! My question is - I just pulled a new kernel through Ubuntu update last week. It was 2.6.24-17. Does anyone know when we'll get 2.6.25 though an update? It is also my understanding that this "revert of GPL symbols" will not be backported so 2.6.24 we'll never see ndiswrapper working. And since I seem to recall that odd number kernel versions are considired "unstable" (please correct me if I am in error here) plus Hardy being a LTS....... I guess the more important question for me is does the Ubuntu processes allow one day to even get 2.6.25 through an update for Hardy?
