NDISwrapper dodges another bulletNDISwrapper dodges another bulletPosted Mar 6, 2008 16:22 UTC (Thu) by iabervon (subscriber, #722)In reply to: NDISwrapper dodges another bullet by rahvin Parent article: NDISwrapper dodges another bullet
It's very different in that the binary blobs that NDISwrapper loads were written without knowledge of the Linux kernel, and the binary blob that the nVidia shim code loads were written using knowledge of the Linux kernel as reference. This is much the same difference as that between writing an encyclopedia without having Britannica and writing one while using Britannica. In the latter case, you have to be a lot more careful about a lot of things in order to avoid doing things you shouldn't.
