The TI chipset based cards which I have tried (cheap unbranded cards 
with a pciid of 104c:9066) work fine with ndiswrapper in SL3.0.3; but 
(as previously discussed on this list) the drivers hang the regular 
SL4 kernels, apparently this is due to the kernels having been built 
with the 4KSTACKS option.  I got no further with that since the last 
discussions I posted here, nearly a month back.

Seems to be the same pciid as the unbranded one that I'm discussing, 
so it looks hopeful for SL3.*, anyway.

(As a side remark, I've recently found that the driver that I'm using 
for the TI chipset cards runs in FCC mode, and I can't yet find how to 
set ETSI mode, so they can't see the additional channels 12 and 13 
that are available in Europe.  I had no problem fixing that with the 
driver for the rt2500 chipset cards, since the country/region code was 
clearly visible in the .INI file and I was able to edit that before 
doing the "ndiswrapper -i" to install the driver; but with these TI 
cards I seem to be stuck.)

hope that's useful to somebody.  I'm currently using ndiswrapper 1.4, 
by the way, built from source.  The previous successful version for me 
was 1.1.
