Hey there, has anyone produced positive results with starting the driver after coming back from the ACPI S3 mode? For me, the computer did freeze after modprobing the ndiswrapper module. Nothing to find in the syslog :-( I'll recompile the module with DEBUG=1 and see whether it outputs _something_ at least. Just being curious to see whether people got it working yet. Or might it not work at all? ;-) regards, hendrik |

It should work in S3 mode (it does for me). See 'tips' page. -- Giri |

Hi Hendrik, ndiswrapper-0.6 and up seems to resume fine after an S3 or S4 on my Asus M6N notebook with an Intel Pro/2100 802.11b card. However ndiswrapper-0.4, which I'm forced to use because anything later than that refuses to work properly with 2.6 kernels, does not resume properly I'm afraid. -Herman On Tue, 2004-04-20 at 15:28, Hendrik wrote: > Hey there, > > has anyone produced positive results with starting the driver after > coming back from the ACPI S3 mode?

However, *any* kernel later than 2.6.4-mm2 will freeze the machine after a modprobe. -- Matthias Hentges Cologne / Germany [www.hentges.net] -> PGP welcome, HTML tolerated ICQ: 97 26 97 4 -> No files, no URL's My OS: Debian SID.

Don't use 4K stacks. If that solves the problem, let me know so this can be added to the FAQ. -- Giri |

This indeed fixed the problem.

Not using 4K stacks doesn't seem to be a long term solution as 4K stacks appear to be moving into the mainline kernel. Can anyone explain specifically why ndiswrapper fails on 4K stacks and not on 8K stacks? Without the bile I have seen appear in some other discussions on the subject. Its been a long time since I worked in device drivers and would like to understand the real issues.

The problem is not ndiswrapper, but intel driver. It allocates about 5K memory on the stack (by changing stack pointer). With 4K stacks, this means the driver is stepping on someone else's toes. The fix is for intel to fix their windows driver so it allocates memory using ndis calls and not through this dirty trick. Another hope is that by the time 4K stack option is removed, intel's linux driver works well. -- Giri |
