+ndiswrapper-utils (userspace utils for using NDIS drivers)
+
+Some vendors do not release specifications of the hardware or
+providea linux driver for their wireless network cards. This
+project provides a linux kernel module that loads and runs NDIS
+(Windows network driver API) drivers supplied by the vendors.
+
+Be sure to read the INSTALL file in the package's documentation
+directory for instructions on configuring your wireless card.
+
+This requires ndiswrapper-kernel.
