Hello all, I have an hp pavilion ze4400 with built in Broadcom wifi, the BCM94306. Recently I tried ndiswrapper with 2.6.0 kernel (the "development sources" Gentoo package as of a few months ago) and it worked perfectly. Now I am using 2.6.6 with the Andrew Morton patches, and ndiswrapper crashes out badly. I can load the module, but when I run loadndisdriver I get an oops and a kernel panic: "In interrupt handler - not syncing" I did make sure to include wireless LAN in the kernel, and I'm pretty sure the card was on because I booted into windows to turn it on (after that the LED stayed on in Linux). The only other thing big thing that changed with this kernel upgrade is that my Radeon IGP started worked properly with agpgart, I believe thanks to the mm patches. But I wouldn't have thought that would have anything to do with ndiswrapper. Any ideas? |

Unfortunately it didn't work fine with my optical mouse so I went back to 2.4.22 - but that's another story. But what's 'loadndisdriver'? My understanding is that the appropriate method is to load the driver first (ndiswrapper -l) then do 'modprobe ndiswrapper'. Are you perhaps using an older version of ndiswrapper? Having asked that, I see I DO have a loadndisdriver binary in /sbin here on my desktop machine, but I've never used it on either of my boxes, at least directly. |

Are you perhaps using an older version of ndiswrapper? ndiswrapper -l lists your installed windows drivers. > Having asked that, I see I DO have a loadndisdriver binary in /sbin here > on my desktop machine, but I've never used it on either of my boxes, at > least directly. loadndisdriver is invoked automatically when you run modprobe ndiswrapper and you should never run this command manually.
