RHEL doesn't support NDIS drivers
Hi Jes, Will this be included in further releases of RedHat to support Atheros NDIS type drivers, because nowadays many PC vendors(like Sony) are using these ethernet. Thanks.
Hello Satheesh, RHEL will not support NDIS drivers at any point. Native drivers for various chips such as the Atheros ones may arrive when we next resync with upstream, ie. in RHEL7. For further details or if you wish to request support for specific drivers, you need to contact your RHEL customer support contact. Thanks, Jes
