Hi! I've installed ndiswrapper on my lappy (Dell Latitude D600) and found that I need to boot with acpi=3Dforced in order to have acpi support as required by ndiswrapper. Fine, but... if I boot with acpi=3Dforced and no AC power supply, the boo= t hangs itself immediately after the "starting loopback netadapter [OK]" message. If I've understood this ACPI business right, I need it especially when running batterypowered, right? What am I doing wrong? --=20 with kind regards, Bent Nagstrup Terp Systemadministrator Center for Genomics and Bioinformatics Karolinska Instituttet Berzelius V=E4g 35 171 77 Stockholm, Sweden |

This is an acpi issue, not an ndiswrapper issue. I have no idea what distro you are using, but the acpi=3Dforced directive i= s used only when you have an old BIOS, so I'm assumming your bios is out of date. I would suggest that you upgrade your BIOS so that you don't require the forced directive as it breaks certain things. You may also want to try to compile a custom kernel that doesn't load up the battery modules of ACPI and see if that works for you.
