Thanks for your help, I did get a step forward, but still stuck :/ : I downloaded the latest release 1.17 (just released today), compiled, installed, driver loaded OK. When I plug the USB dongle, the hardware is detected, interface wlan0 created, and then immediatly removed, and my USB whole system did not respond anymore. I on another computer => same story Herafter the syslog: http://rafb.net/paste/results/Ysvh3E84.html Thx Motofix.

These may not be related to ndiswrapper. If you want help with ndiswrapper, you must supply debug trace. --=20 Giri |
