Description Nathaniel McCallum 2006-03-27 17:27:36 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
NM lies saying:
<information> wlan0: Device is fully-supported using driver 'ndiswrapper'.

ndiswrapper is not actually supported because of a lack of WEXT compliance.

A message like this would be better:
<information> wlan0: Driver 'ndiswrapper' is not supported (needs WEXT compliance)

Steps to reproduce:
1. 
2. 
3. 


Actual results:


Expected results:


Does this happen every time?
