--- Comment #3 from Anastasius Focht <focht at gmx.net> ---
Hello folks,

FYI the vendor of this Digitus DN-13023 Wireless Printserver/NAS only
advertises support for Windows 8, 7, Vista, XP and Mac OS 10.x.
Wine can't magically make this to work if there is no support from Linux kernel
side (USB client device/driver).

Simple thing: don't buy products from vendors that offer no Linux support if
you intend to use it with Linux.

Anyway, the crash is still present and can be also reproduced with 'GpsGate
Client for Windows'.
The kernel driver itself won't be useful at all with Wine but at least the
crash should be avoided.

Adding the stub from comment #2 will cause endless looping in driver:

--- snip ---
...
fixme:ntoskrnl:KeWaitForMultipleObjects (2, 0x64ea4c, 1, 0, 0, 0, (nil),
0x64ea1c): stub
fixme:ntoskrnl:KeWaitForMultipleObjects (2, 0x64ea4c, 1, 0, 0, 0, (nil),
0x64ea1c): stub
...
--- snip ---

The driver creates a secondary "system thread" using PsCreateSystemThread()
which calls KeWaitForMultipleObjects().

Only in case of STATUS_SUCCESS return value the loop is exited and the driver
is happy, probably waiting for ioctls from client.
