Re: [Ndiswrapper-general] WG511 not detected in slot at start-up

[<man...@co...>]

I should have been more specific.  After the machine boots and I execute lspci the network card doesn't list.  I have to remove the card first and "replace" it back into the slot for it to ne detected.  So does this mean its a kernel issue?  Because while the machine boots and starts the services I can tell the ndiswrapper driver attempts to load but since the card isn't detected in the slot I receive the [Failed] message instead of [OK].  My DELL 2650 laptop provides no method to modify BIOS settings that would matter here.
