By default, FC4 kernels are built with 4K stacks.  That being said, some
Windows drivers under ndiswrapper will work fine with 4K stacks (the
Broadcom driver, for example).  Others will not.  With an 8K stack,
virtually all drivers will work, so to maximize success you should use
an 8K stack.

The best bet is to try it first.  Build and install ndiswrapper and try
it.  If it doesn't work or works strangely, then you must rebuild the
kernel with 8K stacks.  Instructions are in the archives of this list or
in the online starting guide on how to do that.
