Please don't !
I want to help get support for it too (along with some others in the forum).
The more the merrier.
Ndis is not a solution, and neither is changing the hardware. Why don't we
get toghther and try to get it to work?
I'm willing to try every single patch and run every single test. I'm even
willing to ask sepherosa for help if we have to.
