Hi!

Should I use 64bit or 32bit Windows drivers on AMD64?

Thanks in advance!

64bit NDISwrapper needs 64bit Windows drivers.
Example of which is here

But what card is it that you need to use NDISwrapper rather than 
something native?

Realtek_RTL8187 

It's the onboard  USB-WLAN-adapter on my ASUS M2N32-SLI Deluxe mainboard. A 
native driver exists (  net-wireless/rtl8187 ) but it is hardmasked.

Fortunately 64bit Windows drivers are provided by Realtek.

 It's not. Put net-wireless/rtl8187 ** in /etc/potage/package.keywords
 and emerge it.

echo net-wireless/rtl8187  /etc/portage/package.keywords; 
emerge -pv net-wireless/rtl8187

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies |
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy net-wireless/rtl8187 have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- net-wireless/rtl8187-1.10 (masked by: missing keyword)

For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or
refer to the Gentoo Handbook.

I've synced this morning. I suppose you are not on AMD64, you have put 
net-wireless/rtl8187 into package.unmask or you use an overlay.

What's the purpose of those asterisks? I've never seen them before.
