[Ndiswrapper-general] 3com and ndiswrapper -> just works about 2min...

[hephaistos <hep...@sm...>]

hello,

I have a little (hope so) problem with ndiswrapper and 3com wlan card:

I installed the ndiswrapper like described here:
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=125627&highlight=ndiswrapper

I downloaded the Windows Drivers for my 3COM 3CRSHPW796, unpacked it with wine
and installed the .inf file as described in this site.

then i configured the config files and tried to start wlan. it does work -> i
got an ip via dhcp and surfed around -> for about 2min. then I have to restart
the /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 and it works again for 2 min....

I don't know what might be wrong.
the only point is, that dmesg returns (concerning pcmcia/wlan):
ndiswrapper: Driver is serialized. This will not work!
wlan0: ndiswrapper ethernet device 00:0b:ac:e6:3a:23 using driver rshpw796.sys

what does this mean? or what might be my failure?

thx in advance

PS: I'm using gentoo 2004.1 with 2.6.6 at a toshiba satellite pro A10 with
wireless pcmcia 3COM card
