NDISwrapper, is a free software driver wrapper that enables the use of Windows drivers

NDISwrapper, is a free software driver wrapper that enables the use of Windows drivers for network devices (PCI cards, USB modems, and routers), on Linux only operating systems. NDISwrapper works by implementing the Windows kernel and NDIS APIs, and dynamically linking the Windows drivers to this implementation. It therefore works only on systems based on the architectures supported by Windows, namely IA-32 or x86-64.
