Re: [Ndiswrapper-general] BCM(9)4306 - upgrade from 0.4 to 0.9 - not working

Yes, it does.  If I put it in /etc/modules it appears towards the bottom of the list.  If I rmmod and insmod it, it appears at the top of the list.  But it is in the list.

dmesg constantly shows this error though:
ndiswrapper version 0.10 loaded (preemt=no,smp=no)
ndiswrapper (load_driver:1829): unable to prepare driver

In version 0.9 it was (load_driver:1501).  But the basic problem is I have no wlan0 device listed in iwconfig and therefor cannot setup the device.

Oh hockey puck.  Just figured this one out.  Originally when I rm'd the old 0.4 driver loadndisdriver was in /usr/sbin.  Since then it's been installing in /sbin.  So in my curiousity, I ln -s /sbin/loadndisdriver /usr/sbin/loadndisdriver and now it works.  Arrrrg.

Anyone else with this issue might try this as well.

ln -s /sbin/loadndisdriver /usr/sbin/loadndisdriver

That seemed to be the magic key.  What a pain in the arse.  I was previously getting several errors.  Hopefully someone else finds this usefull.

Thanks,
James
