Hi!
I wonder why fedora kernel's stack is 4 kb.
8kb stack works as good as 4kb and there's ability to install ndiswrapper straight
from livna-repo.
(atheros drivers crash on 4 kb stack)
Maybe there should be 8kb stack in fedora 9 kernel ?
Better to redirect this question to fedora-devel. But the short answer
is that 4k stacks are quite beneficial for many other reasons (see
http://lwn.net/Articles/150580/ ). If you just need to use your Atheros
card, there are open drivers that work with 4k stacks, like madwifi and
ath5k. I'd suggest trying one of those out.
