Bill Paul's excellent NDIS (windowz device driver emulator for
wireless/ethernet interfaces), otherwise known as 'Project Evil',
has been ported to DragonFly. The work is considered experimental
but *something* works because my Centrino laptop (Sony TR3A)'s wireless
now works.
It takes a bit of effort to get a windows device driver compiled in,
it definitely is not automatic in any way shape or form, but it's
better then nothing!
I could not have ported NDIS without Joerg's precursor work on
the 802_11 infrastructure. Kudos all around!
