I would like to know if anyone has gotten ndiswrapper to run on a 64 bit machine. I can get it to run on a 32 bit AMD laptop but can't get it to load the module on a 64 bit AMD FX-51 box. David |

There are a few out there. I have personally used it with a Broadcom chipset 802.11g wireless card. Jonathan |

I have the 64bit drivers the problem I am having is that no matter which ndiswrapper I try 1.1, through 1.8 tar balls and through Livna also, when I run modprobe ndis wrapper it fails error unknown paramater in /lib/modules/2.6.24-1.1656_FC4/misc/ndiswrapper.ko (ifname). I show the driver and hardware installed with ndiswrapper -l. I am trying to figure out why the error message. It just won't let me load the module. The network device control configuration screen showes the wlan0 but when I try to activate it it fails saying no module loaded. Any sugestions? David |
