No more than what I already posted - it seems that for complete 
satisfaction it's necessary to rebuild the kernel without the 4KSTACKS 
option, as recently discussed on this list.  But I found a driver for 
our current-favourite low-cost card (rt2500-based) which seems to work 
in SL4 with the distributed kernel, despite that option.

It works great (ndiswrapper version 1.1 recommended) in SL303; initial 
indications with version 1.4 are positive there too, though another 
kind of card (tnet1130-based) which worked with v1.1 is causing me a 
bit of hassle with v1.4 (I think I need a newer driver for it).

In SL303 I've generally followed the hints found in the then-current
ndiswrapper wiki:  
http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/mediawiki/index.php/List

Sometimes the driver recommended and successful has been for a 
completely different *brand* of card (but of course based on the same 
chipset).  Look at the PCI ID (lspci), rather than at the brand.  (I 
suppose one should also read the licensing conditions which come with 
such drivers!).

good luck
