External Links Introduction Some vendors do not release hardware specifications and do not provide a Linux driver for their devices. The NDISwrapper project provides a Linux kernel module that loads and runs Windows kernel API and NDIS (Network Driver Interface Specification) API drivers supplied by the vendors within the Linux kernel. A Windows driver is then linked to this implementation so that the driver runs natively, as though it is in Windows, without any hardware emulation. NDISwrapper uses Windows XP driver files - which may have been supplied with your hardware - to operate your device. This driver wrapper is only available for use on the x86 and x86-64 architectures (Debian i386 and AMD64 ports respectively). While NDISwrapper is intended for use with WiFi devices, it may alternatively be used for other hardware classes, such as Ethernet adapters or USB-to-serial converters. This page assumes a use of a wireless LAN device.

A browser window shows an old Debian Wiki page explaining how to install NDISwrapper, with dense technical documentation and navigation links. The joke is that the supposedly dramatic reaction “it's over wincucks” is attached to a mundane Linux setup page, contrasting anti-Windows slang with an ordinary driver-installation guide.
