29 If the windows driver is contained in an .exe file, you just need to run
30 the file on a Windows machine, and then do a quick search for the
31 fritz*.inf file on that machine. Then use the ndiswrapper to enfold the
32 stable windows driver on your machine.

34 Just as a note, I'm thinking unless you're a programmer, libre or
35 proprietary software, the programmer(s) are your master. It's pure
36 sophism on whether the master is Adobe, Linus T, MS, or RMS.
