As I said, if I'm in the market for new card, I'd avoid cards that need 
ndiswrapper.  If I already had a card, than I'd use ndiswrapper.

When it gets integrated, the card will make its way onto my shopping 
list.  Not before.

The point was, I can simply buy the card that I'll unpack from the box, 
plug it into my laptop, and voila it works.  If I can do that, why 
should I vaste my time on the card that I need to do additional work 
(each time new kernel is out) to get it working?  Even if the work is 
trivial.  5 minutes of work here and there quickly adds up to an hour. 
One hour of my work is more expensive than wireless card.
