How to prepare Windows driver for use with ndiswrapper?

[Malte Gell]

Hello,

i now have a Netgear WN111v2 which works just fine with drivers from 
linuxwireless project.

Nevertheless, i would give ndiswrapper a chance to get some more features, 
e.g. make the LEDs work and see the signal strength.

I was able to extract the Windows driver from my Vista machine.

I can install it with ndiswrapper -i oem42.inf But, when i load the 
ndiswrapper module i get a lot of unresolved symbols.

If someone wants to help to create a ndiswrapper optimized Windows driver 
package for that USB stick I can send you the driver (2,9 MB, some files are 
probably not needed).

Regards
Malte
