So NDISwrapper doesn't work with fedora core or RHEL? I don't use either so i don't know but that seems odd...

not all the world is using ndiswrapper.. some people still have systems where they can use open source drivers...

NDISwrapper has no problem with 4K stacks. The problem is that the drivers it wraps can expect up to a 12K stack. Of course, Linux has never provided more than an 8K stack, so a given driver wouldn't necessarily work, but a number of popular drivers don't run out of stack even with only 4K.
