[Ndiswrapper-general] ndiswrapper-1.0rc2 does not recognize all driver encryption modes

[Jos D. <jos...@ug...>]

Hey,

Using ndiswrapper-0.12, upon loading the ndiswrapper module I get the 
following messages:

ndiswrapper version 0.12 loaded (preempt=yes,smp=no)
ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:01:03.0[A] -> GSI 5 (level, low) -> IRQ 5
ndiswrapper: using irq 5
wlan0: ndiswrapper ethernet device 00:90:4b:14:4f:bf using driver bcmwl5a
wlan0: encryption modes supported: WEP, WPA with TKIP, WPA with AES/CCMP
ndiswrapper: driver bcmwl5a (Broadcom,06/25/2004, 3.40.73.0) added

When upgraded to 1.0rc2, I get the following:

ndiswrapper version 1.0rc2 loaded (preempt=yes,smp=no)
ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:01:03.0[A] -> GSI 5 (level, low) -> IRQ 5
ndiswrapper: using irq 5
wlan0: ndiswrapper ethernet device 00:90:4b:14:4f:bf using driver bcmwl5a
wlan0: encryption modes supported: WEP
ndiswrapper: driver bcmwl5a (Broadcom,06/25/2004, 3.40.73.0) added

As you can see, I am missing the WPA encryption modes. I removed and 
reinstalled the bcmwl5a.inf file upon upgrading.

When I downgrade to 0.12 again (and do not reinstall de inf file) I get this 
message:

ndiswrapper version 0.12 loaded (preempt=yes,smp=no)
ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:01:03.0[A] -> GSI 5 (level, low) -> IRQ 5
ndiswrapper: using irq 5
wlan0: ndiswrapper ethernet device 00:90:4b:14:4f:bf using driver bcmwl5a
wlan0: encryption modes supported: WEP
ndiswrapper: driver bcmwl5a (Broadcom,06/25/2004, 3.40.73.0) added

Only after I reinstall the inf file using version 0.12 do I get the familiar 
list of encryption modes back.

I haven't had a chance to test 1.0rc2 with WPA yet, so I can't tell you if 
ndiswrapper still works regardless of this message.

Here is the buginfo for version 1.0rc2:
