[Ndiswrapper-general] problem with 2.6.0 Kernel

[Ashutosh J. <ash...@cs...>]

Hi,
I'm trying to get ndiswrapper working on a Dell Inspiron 4150 with a
TrueMobile 1180 (broadcom 4301), Gentoo-Linux system running 2.6.0
kernel. After running install.sh I did a modprobe ndiswrapper and got
the following message:

Calling putdriver ioctl
Parsing the inf file.
Driver version: 07/09/2002, 3.08.27.0
Adding setting: RadioState      = 0
Adding setting: Channel = 11
Adding setting: PowerSaveMode   = 0
Adding setting: Rate    = 0
Adding setting: PLCPHeader      = 0
Adding setting: antdiv  = -1
Adding setting: frag    = 2346
Adding setting: rts     = 2347
Calling startdriver ioctl
FATAL: Error running install command for ndiswrapper

On checking the dmesg output I found the following:

ndiswrapper version 0.4 loaded

 printing eip:

Code:  Bad EIP value.

Is this problem with the kernel or am I doing something wrong?
