Ndiswrapper or ACX111 open source drivers?


I have an airlink wireless G pci card, and I'm wondering which set up would be better. Using ndiswrapper or the acx111 open source drivers (http://acx100.sourceforge.net/). Does anyone know which would give the better performance, and work with bridge-utils? Thanks in advance for your help.

I had good luck using acx111 drivers (originally from SourceForge, I believe). Got them from links at House of Craig, at http://www.houseofcraig.net/indx.php . The instructions there were great.

Now, to be fair, I didn't use ndiswrapper, so I really can't compare. But I can tell you that the drivers worked and let me use WEP encoding, and his instructions made troubleshooting pretty tractable.
