I don't see why it shouldn't be possible. You can run 32-bit code on the=20
x86_64 and since the NT kernel stuff is already emulated as far as the ndis=
=20
driver is concerned, it should be possible.=20

The only thing I'm not sure about, is whether the Linux kernel code can be=
=20
mixed with 32 bit code...=20

But then.. isn't it even possible to run the NT driver in user mode with pa=
rt=20
of ndis wrapper in usermode too?! (and since Linux x86_64 can run 32-bit=20
Linux executables, it would solve that issue too).

As you tell, you are using a 64 bit kernel, do you know any windows
drivers made for the 64 bit? If not, how do you think you could use a 32
bit driver in a 64bit kernel? I don't see how.

[Ndiswrapper-general] Belkin F5D7010 successfully working

[Fredrik Sandberg <fredrik@su...>]

Belkin F5D7010 could be added to the list of supported chipsets, as I am
succesfully using ndiswrapper for it, on Mandrake 10.0. The native
driver status is: Realtek 8139, rev 10.

For you who are struggling with having the internetconnection to work:
dont forget to remove your eth0, if you previously have been using it
for internet.

[Ndiswrapper-general] 64 bit support

[Eric Princen <eprincen@bo...>]

Hi all,

I'm writing this on my nice new eMachines m6809 running Fedora Core 2
x86_64. Everything works surprisingly well, except ndiswrapper. :-) I
have my eth0 currently plugged into a Linksys WAP54G for wireless access
to my wireless router. I'd love to use the onboard card. I've been very
impressed with ndiswrapper with my old laptop and Linksys card.

The current issue building 0.8 is this: 

{standard input}: Assembler messages:
{standard input}:2008: Error: `(%esp,1)' is not a valid 64 bit
base/index expression
make[3]: *** [/usr/src/ndiswrapper-0.8/driver/misc_funcs.o] Error 1
make[2]: *** [_module_/usr/src/ndiswrapper-0.8/driver] Error 2

The current CVS version doesn't get this far.

So the question: Is anyone working on making this work 64 bit? If not,
does anyone want to?  :-) I'm more than happy to help as much as I can,
but I haven't written any firmware in over 10 years. :-) At minimum,
I'll be happy to test whatever needs testing. Just let me know what is
needed.

-Eric ;-)

[Ndiswrapper-general] Promiscuous mode?

[gmichels <gustavo.michels@po...>]

Hi

Any ideas when (or if) promiscuous mode will be implemented in ndiswrappe=
r? I'd
really like to use vmware in bridged mode with my wlan device.

Btw thanks for this great software.

cheers

[Ndiswrapper-general] realtek 8180 PCMCIA

[Mario Ohnewald <mario.ohnewald@gm...>]

Hello List!
I have a realtek 8180 chipset on a pcmcia wireless nic.
I followed the instructions from
http://portal.suse.com/sdb/de/2004/04/pohletz_ndiswrapper.html

I am running suse 9.1 and ndiswrapper-0.6-23.
I used the driver
ftp://152.104.125.40/cn/wlan/rtl8180l/winxp-8180(169).zip

Loading the driver and ndiswrapper works fine, but when i check it with
dmesg, i get this error:

ndiswrapper: unsupported module, tainting kernel.
ndiswrapper version 0.8 loaded
ndiswrapper adding rtl8180.sys
PCI: Enabling device 0000:02:00.0 (0000 -> 0003)
ACPI: No IRQ known for interrupt pin A of device 0000:02:00.0
PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:02:00.0 to 64
ndiswrapper: error log: C000138C, length: 0 (c8273e30)
ndiswrapper: Windows driver couldn't initialize the device
rtl8180.sys: probe of 0000:02:00.0 failed with error -22

The FAQ told me to turn off pcmcia, which i did. But then my pcmcia card
does not lite up with the power light. But i still got the same error.

Any ideas?
Thanks, Mario
