Hi,
I have got this bug in my ndiswrapper-1.49-rc2 (the same happened with
ndiswrapper-1.47).
I've set up an Ad-Hoc connection with another laptop with an IPW2200 ABG
network card.
Both systems are running under Linux (gentoo).

The connection failed all of a sudden, and on my computer (with
ndiswrapper) i've got this message:

BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000
printing eip:

My card is a D-Link DWL-G120 (ID 2001:3701), and I use the prisma02 windows
drivers.

After the connection fails (and I get the message above in my
dmesg), I no longer am able to use the wireless. Whenever i run iwconfig
(or any command as root), the command gets stuck (like is dead-locked
forever). Actually even the reboot gets stuck, and I have to manually
hard-reboot the computer from the power button.

After I get this error, on the other computer (with the ipw2200 network
card) it gives messages of the type "ipw2200: Firmware error detected.
Restarting."

Both computers are running the same linux (gentoo), the same version, and
up to date.
My computer (carrying the ndiswrapper with the Dlink DWL-G120 card) is this
(uname -a):
Linux sinbad 2.6.22-suspend2-r2 #1 PREEMPT Tue Sep 25 08:41:49 EDT 2007
i686 Pentium III (Coppermine) GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

The other computer with the IPW2200 is this (uname -a):
Linux verstecken 2.6.22-suspend2-r2 #2 PREEMPT Sun Sep 30 21:20:10 EDT 2007
i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1.73GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

and its network card is this (lspci):
Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2915ABG Network
Connection (rev 05)
It uses the ipw2200 driver which is integrated in the kernel (ver. 1.2.0k), with the firmware version
3.0

Please ask for more informations if needed.

Any help what I could do ?

Thanks.
