Greetings all, Running Mandrake 10.0 on an emachines 6805 laptop (amd64 3000+ processor). I have successfully installed the drivers for the broadcom chipset using ndiswrapper 0.5. When I start the wireless (automatic after boot, or pressing "Fn-F2" any other time), the performance of the machine goes right in the crapper. All running applications start to hog the cpu. The X server will typically use between 20 and 30% of the cpu with other applications grabbing as much as they can, until the cpu is running somewhere between 70-100%. Loads are in the 2.xx range. There are no unknown processes grabbing the cpu, they are all user space processes also, no kernel processes are using up the cpu. As soon as I turn off the wireless, performance goes back to normal, with each process using very minimal cpu cycles. Any ideas? Thanks, Kevin |

Hi: Im have is the same problems, my notebook is eMachine M6807, kernel 2.6.5-rc1, ndiswrapper 0.6, chip broadcom BCM94306 Load module OK, the wireless work, both have UP 100 %CPU consume maybe ( 5-30 seconds), before DOWN 5-15 %CPU consume normal, desactive wireless and consume CPU normal fopr ever. Helpme please, Regards ---------- Original Message ----------- From: Kevin Penrose <kev...@mo...> To: "'ndi...@li...'" <ndi...@li...> Sent: Wed, 17 Mar 2004 12:48:32 -0500 Subject: [Ndiswrapper-general] Machine slow-down after starting wireless with ndiswrapper > Greetings all, > > Running Mandrake 10.0 on an emachines 6805 laptop (amd64 3000+ > processor).
