+ndiswrapper-kernel (kernel module for NDIS drivers)
+
+Some vendors do not release specifications of the hardware or
+providea linux driver for their wireless network cards. This
+project provides a linux kernel module that loads and runs NDIS
+(Windows network driver API) drivers supplied by the vendors.
+
+If you'd like to build the module for a kernel that isn't currently
+running on the system, you should be able to pass that kernel's
+"uname -r" output on the command line as the value of KERNEL, as in:
+ KERNEL=2.6.37.6 ./ndiswrapper.SlackBuild
