It wasn't a so big problem THEN - all i did was download a new kernel
RPM from the ndiswrapper side with 8k stacks disabled.
*pof* nVidia!
But this udev stuff would be worse to work around...
=> my main machine will stay on fc2 untill nvidia drivers work with fc3.
BTW pissing off nvidia isn't such a good idea either. Not that i oppose
udev, but you get the idea. Please not break the drivers for fun. Not
that i think you do.

Also that "not supported" thing is crap. Binary modules are a fact of
life and some care ("some" meaning "break it if you have to, but avoid
it if you can") must be taken so that users can use them.
The fact is that nvidia cards are _very_ popular and users want to have
them working properly on linux. In fact they don't have much options,
ATi drivers suck beyond reason and other cards are just plain
insufficient preformance-wise. So, if the nvidia driver breaks and isn't
easy to fix, that will just drive users away. Take me for an example, I
have always updated to a newer Red Hat version (since Red Hat 5.0)
whithin 1.5 weeks of release, but it took me around 2 months to step up
to Fedora 2. Why? Because the nvidia drivers didn't work with the fedora
2 kernel and I have better things to do with my time that patching and
rebuilding kernels. When nvidia released new drivers I upgraded within 1
week. If I were a new user, I wouldn't even have bothered.
