Hi,

It depends on what device you want to address with Windows drivers and most important why. Is there really no driver for Linux? What device are you talking about? If you're sure of what you want then have a look at NDISwrapper.

Kind regards,

Eric

You will not get a linux driver to work in windows.

The only possible somewhat way would be to use co-linux but only the linux would use the driver.


Who makes a linux only device?

Hi,

Completely misread the original post, I thought OP wanted to do the opposite, use a Windows driver in Linux. Sorry :doh:

Kind regards,

Eric

If on 1 PC you have linux and windows both working on one PC some file systems will be NTFS and some Ext2 or 3.. so can we see NTFS file on linux...
