I've sponsored an upload from Paolo to address this issue. I've asked him to fill in the SRU template and I'm hoping that he's able to do that before the SRU team gets to the upload.

Hello Seth, or anyone else affected,

Accepted ndiswrapper into bionic-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ndiswrapper/1.60-6ubuntu0.2 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from verification-needed-bionic to verification-done-bionic. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-bionic. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

DKMS builds for 5.4 kernels on bionic won't work with 5.4 kernel from focal, unless the toolchain is updated, as there is a new gcc feature used when building such kernel. A future 5.4 kernel backported to bionic will not use that feature and, then, dkms packages will build just fine for that.

The fix here was a fix for focal that was backported to bionic in advance as we want to upload a 5.4 kernel to bionic RSN.
