[Bug 1187496] Re: ndiswrapper-dkms 1.58-0ubuntu1 kernel module fails to build with kernel >= 3.9 [error: too few arguments to function ‘add_taint’]

[Julian Andres Klode]

I fixed the 3.9  build failure in Debian in 1.58-1, which could be
synced now.  Kernel 3.10 needs several more changes, as the procfs API
changed. I will try to create a patch for that starting on Tuesday.

Upstream is not active anymore AFAICT; I don't think we will see fixes
from their side anytime soon.
