Hi all, Need some help here but my english is not great. :-P I install ndiswrapper 0.9 in my slackware 9.1 box (Pentium IV) with kernel 2.4.23 and with windows drivers. It works great without any problems. Next step for me is remove my PCI WMP54G (linksys) from P4 and install it in my other box with slackware 9.1 (Pentium II) with kernel 2.4.20 and with the same windows drivers. It don't work and freezes my PC. I can make a modprobe ndiswrapper but i can't do iwconfig wlan0. I install a configure a 2.4.27 kernel without any problems and again try install ndiswapper (without problems to) with windows drivers. I do the same thing... linux freezes when i do something like [iwconfig wlan0] to check who it is. So i tried ndiswraper 0.9+CVS@040815 and have the same problems. Here come my steps (note that i try diferent order and have the same problems): 1º modprobe ndiswraper it loads fine Aug 15 17:03:43 codezone kernel: ndiswrapper version 0.9+CVS@040815 loaded (preempt=no,smp=no) Aug 15 17:03:43 codezone kernel: PCI: Assigned IRQ 9 for device 00:0b.0 Aug 15 17:03:43 codezone kernel: ndiswrapper: using irq 9 Aug 15 17:03:44 codezone kernel: wlan0: ndiswrapper ethernet device 00:0f:66:1d:a8:e6 using driver bcmwl5.sys Aug 15 17:03:44 codezone kernel: ndiswrapper device wlan0 doesn't support WPA <6>ndiswrapper: driver bcmwl5.sys (Linksys,07/17/2003, 3.30.15.0) added 2º iwconfig wlan0 power off (see this in a init script) 3º iwconfig wlan0 key off (my Ap dont have key for now) 4º iwconfig wlan0 essid linksys 5º iwconfig wlan0 (to see the changes and if detect my AP) that's all i can do... pc freezes and i cant see any thing (any error). I don't know what is WPA :-P but when i go see in /var/log/messages in the P4 (where ndiswrapper works) and WPA is supported: Aug 10 22:38:51 sharkylandia kernel: ndiswrapper version 0.9 loaded Aug 10 22:38:51 sharkylandia kernel: ndiswrapper: driver bcmwl5.sys added Aug 10 22:38:51 sharkylandia kernel: ndiswrapper: using irq 5 Aug 10 22:38:52 sharkylandia kernel: wlan0: ndiswrapper ethernet device 00:0f:66:1d:a8:e6 using driver bcmwl5.sys Aug 10 22:38:52 sharkylandia kernel: ndiswrapper device wlan0 supports WPA with AES/CCMP and TKIP ciphers My questions are: - there is something i missed in my kernel config ??? i have CONFIG_NET=y, CONFIG_NET_RADIO=y and CONFIG_NET_WIRELESS=y. - is there something else that i can try to do ???

I bought another card failed and returned to Linksys WMP54G I tested some PCI-WLAN cards with my Pentium-90 (which I call a old system) and they did not get recognized by the mainboard`s BIOS (even I flshed it to the latest version (available)). These cards did not show up in the output of lspci the LinkSys WMP54G does!

This card works well in my Pentium IV but dont work on Pentium II.

If the freezing at modprobe or iwconfig means the no working on your Pentium II try a different (Windows)driver for ndiswrapper. I had some good experiences with one of these http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/supported_chipsets.html I can evaluate which one I use at the moment if you need to know.
