I think I have seen an answer to this in the past but can't find it in the archives. Installing ndiswrapper 1.7-0 on a Fedora Core 4 64 bit box all goes well until I run modeprobe ndiswrapper at which point the machine locks up and I have to reboot. I have it running on a 32 bit laptop with no problems also FC-4. Both machines are ADM based. Can someone point me to the thread about this or give me a pointer on avoiding the lockup? Thanks David |

I have been out of town and couldn't get back to you. I am using aa Asus sk8n card with an AMD FX-51 chip 2 gigs of memory and SCSI drives, I have FC-4 64 bit installed with suupport for 32 bit. I am using a Linksys rt2500 based card. I have tried ndiswrapper 1.1, 1.5, 1.7, and 1.8. I have also tried livna 1.7 downloads.. I can't everything goes fine until modprobe ndiswrapper, as soon as i enter the command the machine locks up and I have to reboot it. I have the Livna setup running on my H&P AMD 32 bit laptop without any problem. It installed and ran fine. If I check the files it shows ndiswrapper.ko, and the rt2500 driver and hardware installed, and in the network device configuration app. it shows ndiswrpper and wlan0 under the hardware screen but not under the connection screen, If I try to modify the hardware screen tha computer locks up. The following is the last of the mesage log for each try at modprobe. Nothing follows it because I have to reboot at this point' > > Jan 19 08:48:17 localhost gdm(pam_unix)[3251]: session opened for user > root by (uid=0) > > Jan 19 08:48:17 localhost gconfd (root-12202): starting (version > 2.10.0), pid 12202 user 'root' > > Jan 19 08:48:17 localhost gconfd (root-12202): Resolved address > "xml:readonly:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory" to a read-only > configuration source at position 0 > > Jan 19 08:48:17 localhost gconfd (root-12202): Resolved address > "xml:readwrite:/root/.gconf" to a writable configuration source at > position 1 > > Jan 19 08:48:17 localhost gconfd (root-12202): Resolved address > "xml:readonly:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults" to a read-only > configuration source at position 2 > > Jan 19 08:48:18 localhost gconfd (root-12202): Resolved address > "xml:readwrite:/root/.gconf" to a writable configuration source at > position 0 > > Jan 19 08:48:59 localhost kernel: ndiswrapper version 1.5 loaded > (preempt=no,smp=no) > > Jan 19 08:48:59 localhost kernel: ndiswrapper (load_pe_images:582): > fixing KI_USER_SHARED_DATA address in the driver > > Jan 19 08:48:59 localhost kernel: ndiswrapper: driver rt2500 () loaded > > Jan 19 08:48:59 localhost kernel: ACPI: PCI Interrupt Link [LNKA] > enabled at IRQ 17 > > Jan 19 08:48:59 localhost kernel: ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:01:03.0[A] > -> Link [LNKA] -> GSI 17 (level, high) -> IRQ 193 > > Jan 19 08:48:59 localhost kernel: ndiswrapper: using irq 193 > Thaks for any help you can give me.

Ah so I'm not the only one having probs with ndiswrapper and a rt2500chip using a 64Bit distro. I'm currently running this combo on a gentoo 32Bit setup. I tested 2 weeks ago with Suse 10.0 64 and my maschine also locked up, when I used boot parameter noapm acpi=off noapic to switch of acpi etc. I was able to load the driver without freezing. But still there is no single byte going in and out from the card. In two weeks I probably have time to dig into the sourcecode.

Right now I don't have any Suse installed. I have five exams left to finally become a Computer Scientist. One of the exams is Linux Driver Development:-) After my exams I have time to reinstall the Suse x86_64, then I can provide you with the necessary information and since I want to apply the knowledge I aquired this semester I want to look at your code, hopefully understand it and then help you out. Since I heavily depend on wireless at home I think ndiswrapper is the right project for me, therefore if my exams go well count me in:-) ___________________________________________________________ Telefonate ohne weitere Kosten vom PC zum PC: http://messenger.yahoo.de |

I added the following two lines to /etc/modprobe.config, alias wlan0 and options ndiswrapper ifname wlan0. Modprobe ndiswrapper no longer crashes the machine. Network Device Control sees wlan0 under hardware but when I try to activate it it says that wlan0 is not present. the error is that in ndiswrapper.ko, unreqignized parameter ifname. Any ideas David >Unfortunately I didn't have much time to checkout the probs with Suse so >I just copied my gentoo back from the external drive. >Right now I don't have any Suse installed.

By adding the two lines: alias wlan0 ndiswrapper options ndiswrapper ifname wlan0 to /etc/modprobe.conf, the computer no longer crashes when I run modprobe ndiswrapper. If I remove the line options ndiswrapper ifname wlan0 it again crashes on modprobe. The following are the the error messages that I get when running modprobe ndiswrapper. /var/log/messages; Jan 21 08:07:30 localhost kernel: ndiswrapper: Unknown parameter `ifname' Jan 21 08:07:30 localhost modprobe: FATAL: Error inserting ndiswrapper (/lib/modules/2.6.14-1.1656_FC4/misc/ndiswrapper.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) Jan 21 08:07:45 localhost kernel: ndiswrapper: Unknown parameter `ifname' [root@localhost ~]# modprobe ndiswrapper FATAL: Error inserting ndiswrapper (/lib/modules/2.6.14-1.1656_FC4/misc/ndiswrapper.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) [root@localhost ~]# dmesg; ndiswrapper: Unknown parameter `ifname' Any ideas on how to correct this?
