Package: ndiswrapper-source
Version: 1.56+r2729-1
Severity: important

Trying to build it with "m-a build ndiswrapper" gave a whole raft
of errors, starting with:
-------------
/usr/src/modules/ndiswrapper/iw_ndis.c: In function ‘iw_set_essid’:
/usr/src/modules/ndiswrapper/iw_ndis.c:76:28: error: ‘struct net_device’ has no 
member named ‘priv’
....
(many more of the same sort)
-------------

Googling a bit, it seems this is due to a #define introduced a long time
ago to be compatible with older kernels, which kept working until the
the latest kernel finally broke it.  It also looks like this issue has 
been fixed in the upstream ndiswrapper.

The easy fix I applied was to comment out lines 278-280 in
/usr/src/modules/ndiswrapper/ntoskernel.h
while I was building it.

(As suggested by

It might be a good time to package a newer upstream version...
