Using ndiswrapper

[Timothy Murphy]

I've been trying to use an Orinoco Classic Gold WiFi card
with Fedora-14, and have concluded that this is impossible,
at least with the standard orinoco_cs driver.

So I'm trying ndiswrapper.
As far as I can see, I need to abstract the firmware
in some way from the Windows driver,
but I don't know how one is meant to do this.

In fact, I'm not sure what "firmware" is.
Is there a standard definition of firmware?
And is there a standard way of extracting it
from an EXE or DLL file?
