Re: [Ndiswrapper-general] Freezing 0.8 / Intel 2200 BG wireless

[Eric B. <eri...@gm...>]

I've tried the default FC2 kernel, 2.6.6 and 2.6.7 from kernel.org all
with the same result.  Initially all with the same config, but i have
been moving things around in an attempt to make this work.  Should i
post my kernel config?
