Hi Chris, >>> Can Freedos run ndiswrapper?
No. Ndiswrapper is a linux program that enables the Linux kernel to use NDIS drivers (drivers written for Microsoft Windows). In contrary to Linux, DOS itself doesn't provide networking. Networking is built either right into the applications or into an external TCP/IP kernel. Most of these applications use "packet drivers", a driver specification developed in the early eighties. Other sorts of drivers are ODI (Novell) or NDIS (Microsoft). As Eric wrote, there is a wrapper called DIS_PKT9 that allows to use NDIS version 2 drivers (extension: ".DOS") as packet drivers. Other wrappers are available for ODI drivers, if you have one of these. Look at lazybrowndog.net/freedos for more info. I can't help with USB, sorry. But for wireless PCMCIA cards check Orinoco 802.11b cards with the wlan42.com ODI driver, they seem to work in DOS.
