Well guys, post full URLs, more details, and ideally spec files :-)
I'm all for including this kind of stuff in freshrpms for many reasons :
1) It makes things easier for many end users
2) It allows for wider testing of the module / application
3) It does not conflict with or override anything
4) It can all be removed if/once it's in the main kernel

So it's mostly a win-win.

I'll try out the dkms-ndiswrapper package ASAP, but it looks really
nice at first glance ;-)
