[Ndiswrapper-general] kernel crash with ndiswrapper 1.50 in Fedora 8-x86

[Lonni J F. <net...@gm...>]

Greetings,
I'm trying to use ndiswrapper 1.50 in Fedora 8 to use the built-in
Atheros chipset based wireless in an Acer Travelmate 2480 laptop.  I
have no problems installing the windowsXP driver, however as soon as I
do "modprobe ndiswrapper", there's an immediate crash.

Unfortunately, since this is a notebook, there is no serial console,
so the best I can do is attempt to transcribe the backtrace that
appears on the screen when the system dies:

wrap_pnp_start_device [ndiswrapper]
wrap_pnp_start_pci_device [ndiswrapper]
sysfs_create_link
sysfs_addrm_finish
kobject_get
pci_match_device
pci_device_probe
driver_probe_device
__driver_attach
__driver_attach
bus_for_each_dev
driver_attach
__driver_attach
bus_add_driver
__pci_register_driver
loader_init [ndiswrapper]
wrap_procfs_init [ndiswrapper]
wrapper_init [ndiswrapper]
sys_init_module
disable_irq
syscall_call
BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 6c6c6163
printing eip: c0406292 *pde = 00000000
Recursive die() failure, output suprressed

I get the same exact crash even when using an 8k stacks kernel.
