Well, I couldn't find any trace of "1" ever happening. If it ever happened, then it's ok. But as far as I know, the Ralink company went directly to 2 (porting there non-free windows driver to linux, and then making it free). Can you provide any evidence that 1 ever happened? I'd be glad to learn that this is not so, since I _would_ like to have ndiswrapper in main. It's just that I felt the example was bugged. -- Besos, Marga
