First of all, I want to say thanks. I appreciate your hard work; I will contribute to this project in one form or another. Hopefully, it's something that I'm doing wrong and can be easily fixed. This pcid (14e4:4324) is listed on your site as being a supported chipset, but I'm having problems. I'm running fedora core 2, on a 2.6 custom smp kernel (with 8k stacks). I have a 3.06 ghz p4HT, which shows up as 2 processors (hence the smp kernel) with a dual band internal broadcom(a/b/g). I've tried 7 and 9 pre 1, they both do the same thing. It works for a second, and eventually hangs (and hard locks my computer). I've just downloaded 8, and will try that shortly. It worked the longest on 7, I managed to go to google and do two searches. It usually goes through the motions (connecting/transferring/connecting/etc) before it locks. Maybe it's a coincidence, but it always seems to freeze on "connecting". I've commited the cardinal sin of not writing down my error message, and I was unable to reproduce it. The first time I restarted after ndiswrapper -m 'ing, (just now with 9pre1) while it was shutting down the services, I had repeated error messages from ndiswrapper. It was something to the effect of spinning a lock it already owned. I'll be here playing with it for a while; if 8 doesn't work I'll load up the source in Eclipse and see if I can find that error string.
