Hi Philippe,

Thanks for posting this information. We have had reports of the client
software not working with some wireless cards in some cases. This may
very well be related to the issue you describe. I would expect that if
NdisMediumWirelessWAN was introduced in NDIS6.20, there would be some
sort of backwards compatibility for NDIS6 LWF drivers. I will forward
this post to our contract kernel developer and see if he has any ideas
on the matter. If not, maybe we can implement the missing functionality.

Thanks again,

-Matthew
