I know that the readme file says that, but wext does not work where
as ndiswrapper does :-)

ndiswrapper version 1.3rc1 (compiled from source)
kernel 2.6.13.1            (compiled form source)
wpa_supplicant 0.5.4-5     (debian package)

If I use wext, the computer does not get IP address.
the dchp3-client (and common) debian packages are installed.

Should I worry about this mismatch with the readme file? :-)

Thank you very much for your help,

Lazar
