NDISWrapper... Those were the days. I'm still astonished such a hack even worked at all. Basically magic.

NDISWrapper was a big turning point for me - the first time I got Linux working and kept it for the life of the hardware, it was due to NDISWrapper.

Fuckin seriously! I worked on WiFi back then and when I saw that my jaw hit the floor. Mad hacking skills, as in mad ability to find a solution within a crazy landscape.
