They should be concerned anyway. The ndiswrapper code does not play
nicely with 4k kernel mode stacks which have been the standard on Fedora
kernels for years now.
Windows NDIS drivers expect to have up to 12k of stack available to them
and anyone who crowbars ndiswrapper into a standard Fedora kernel is
asking for it to randomly blow up in their face.

Bryn.
