[Mactel-linux-users] wireless doesn't work after move to 64 bit RHEL

[Geoffrey <li...@se...>]

I just replaced my 32 bit RHEL 5.4, with 64 bit RHEL 5.4.  Followed the 
same procedure with ndiswrapper to get the wireless configured, but it 
does not work.  Is it possible the windows driver I'm using is 32 bit 
and causing problems?

I see the following in /var/log/messages:
