Has anyone been able to get a handle on the WEP intermittent kernel lock up (No Blue Screen) same result. I have had ndiswrapper woking fine with wep "0.7" then I installed Fedora Core 2 Test 3 rebuilt the kernel for the laptop and I'm back to no WEP :-(. I think we have a kernel options problem here that goes beyond the need for wireless support in the Kernel 2.6.5-1.327. I have a license for Linuxant but it does not play well with sleep at all. I ahve tried all the the krazy options of switching things around (i.e iwconfig wlan0 mode managed key xxx / iwconfig wlan0 key xxx mode auto essid mypoint etc) |

I remember someone else having problems with WEP + Fedora kernel (don't remember kernel version). Can you use a vanilla 2.6 kernel and see how that works? -- Giri |

Works fine without any encryption and as soon as i set wep key i get a kernel Ooops Will try it with a kernel from kernel.org as soon as i have some time. |

If you know how to do it, can you put printk's in ndis_set_wep and see what causes the problem? -- Giri |

After some initial kernel config option mistakes, ndiswrapper works fine now. With and Without WEP. So it looks like the Fedora Core 2 Test 2(3) costum Kernels are just not compatible with ndiswrapper. First i thought it is SELinux that is enabled on Fedora Core, but i compiled the vanilla kernel with selinux and enabled it so it isn't a problem of selinux or the policies. But i can take a look at the sourcecode and try to find the problem this weekend. --- RJ |
