Building ndiswrapper is not complex. It's not more than 40 seconds on a 
200 Mhz Pentium II. A fast machine should be able to build it in 4 or 5 
seconds. Then a quick 'modprobe ndiswrapper' and one is all set. Seems 
pretty easy to me. And yes I actually am using ndiswrapper-0.12rc3 on a 
200 Mhz Pentium II system.
