Package: ndiswrapper
Version: 1.28-1
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system
If you use the ndiswrapper module with the USR805422 card, according
with the ndiswrapper wiki page, the whole system will be unstable.
If you try to remove the usb wifi card or use wpa will cause:
1) The module eat all cpu (100% of usage)
2) You are unabled to use ifconfig or ever program which use the
device, because they will stuck forever
3) You are unabled to unload the module
4) You ougth power off your computer, because the shoutdown sequence
will never done.
This card works with kernel 2.6.18 and ndiswrapper 1.21.
Ndiswrapper 1.21 doesn't compile anymore with kernel 2.6.19, then most
users will switch to newest releases, which likely break their system.
I know that this bug may depend to the windows driver, but this card is
really popular in my country and a kernel module shouldn't break the
whole system like it does.

I'm closing the following bugs, in order to clean up the bug list. If some of
the bugs can still be reproduced with the latest version in unstable, please
reopen it. But I expect that all these bugs are either invalid or fixed.
Bug#460684: ndiswrapper-source: should depend on wireless-utils (again)
Bug#470774: Provide transitional packages for users of ndiswrapper-1.1
=> The bug reports were invalid
Bug#369623:building ndiswrapper-modules with m-a with default gcc < 3.4
=> The bug was produced on sarge, gcc is now 4.2
Bug#401397: Unable to remove ndiswrapper module
Bug#362179: ndiswrapper-source: kernel crash
=> The bug is old, there has been no activity from the submitter
=> ndiswrapper changes very fast, so this is probably fixed already.
Bug#385780: FTBFS on all arches except i386 and amd64
=> Only binary-arch FTBFS, because only i386 and amd64 are supported.
=> It is possible to build ndiswrapper-source on other archs.
