Package: linux-source-2.6.18
Version: 2.6.18-8
On the current etch kernel, the ndiswrapper will not work, because the
ndiswrapper-source (package) is complaining at the compileing.
*** WARNING: This kernel seems to use 4K stack size option
(CONFIG_4KSTACKS); many Windows drivers will not work with this option
enabled. Disable CONFIG_4KSTACKS option, recompile and install kernel.
That hapend on my 2.6.18-686 kernel, then I downloaded the source checked
the config file for 4KSTACKS, where I was surprised, because there was no
CONFIG_4KSTACKS=y line, so I added a CONFIG_4KSTACKS=n, but after some tryes
I am sure that maybe some of the debian kernel patches are occouring this
failure.
The NDISWRAPPER works perfectly with the 2.6.15-686 debian kernel, but since
the 2.6.17 not. (2.6.16?No idea)

submit a bug against ndiswrapper.
4K stack mode gives better performance and higher reliability.
no way we gonna disable that for out of tree modules.
