#60 system freezes or ndiswrapper fails to respond

[zbyte]

amd xp - gentoo linux
linksys wmp54g (broadcom)

the system only freezes when ndiswrapper is loaded, and
it freezes after a random amount of time after the
module is loaded, normally a few hours later.

it looks like ndiswrapper fails to respond on irq #10
and then the irg is disabled, and then some network app
trys to use ndiswrapper and bam, system freezes (but
what would i know?)
