Oh, I thought you meant ndis with 2.4.26.

I use b44 for my eth0 (always have).  The problem with ndiswrapper was
that b44 was grabbing wlan0 before ndis could.  I couldn't ping over the
wlan so I assumed b44 didn't work, but I was just playing around with
routes, and I have managed to get both eth0 and wlan0 working with b44
together (no ndis).

If you understood that sentence, congratulations!

so no more ndis it seems!
