Auto-NDISwrapper

confusing and incomplete blueprint

Asked by jimboi

The blueprint isn't clear on how much work you would expect auto_ndis to do. Is there a set of actions that you expect auto_ndis to do that can clearly be identified and organized into a clear set of steps that could be completed in a line or stanza of bash (or was it python :l)?

Hi! Im really sorry. What I wrote there is really incomplete. I defnately have to update that. Well what I basically want to do is a program written in Python that automatically detects what wireless card you have and automatically downloads the driver for your card with auto-ndiswrapper. We want this program to also automatically disable any wifi driver currently setted up, because otherwise ndiswrapper wont work. Also I wanted to point out that we no longer plan to host the driver ourselves and we now want to get them directly from the manufacturers websites becuase it is illegal to redistribute those drivers. If you have any other question, which you will surely have, dont hesitaste to ask. Also Im setting up bazaar to start uploading code. If you want to contribute keep an eye on that.

Bye

I meant to say "detects what wireless card you have and automatically downloads the driver for your card then it sets it up with ndiswrapper"

Maybe but don't think so. This is getting more complex than what I expected. Mostly because we cant host the drivers ourselves.
