Hello, I read in the FAQ that now the ndiswrapper support amd 64bit processors running in 32bit mode (SuSE 9.1) with "* Broadcom 94306". Therefor I choose a 32 bit version. But if I start the ndiswrapper with the second driver from the supported driver page the system slows down - nearly stops ... how can I solve this problem ... the ndiswrapper module loads with no error or warnings ... Did someone in the list installed a WLAN with this chipset? And/or this Laptop? How can I solve my problem? What did I wrong? I hope I described the problem well. If I don't please ask ... I will soon answer. :-) Greetings OLI PS: I add the output from lspci: linux:~ # lspci 0000:00:00.0 Host bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc.: Unknown device 3188 (rev 01) 0000:00:01.0 PCI bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc.: Unknown device b188 0000:00:0a.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM94306 802.11g (rev 03) 0000:00:0b.0 CardBus bridge: Ricoh Co Ltd RL5c476 II (rev aa) 0000:00:0b.1 CardBus bridge: Ricoh Co Ltd RL5c476 II (rev aa) 0000:00:0b.2 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Ricoh Co Ltd R5C552 IEEE 1394 Controller (rev 02) 0000:00:0c.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5788 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 03) 0000:00:10.0 USB Controller: VIA Technologies, Inc.

Hello, thanks for the fast answer. With the cvs-snapshot from today the module cant be loaded. The description follows: I did (must I delete the kernel-module before installing the new version?

The problem is not with ndiswrapper, but with USB. From your system log: irq 11: nobody cared!

Thanks for the answer. First I tried the following, but the system freeze occur after ca. 1 min. If the USBCore is the problem why dont work the following?: linux:~ # lsmod | grep u Module Size Used by usbserial 29040 0 cpufreq_userspace 5796 2 button 6416 0 snd_mpu401_uart 8064 1 snd_via82xx snd_rawmidi 25508 1 snd_mpu401_uart snd 61444 21 snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi_event,snd_seq,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_via82xx,snd_pcm,snd_timer,snd_ac97_codec,snd_mpu401_uart,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq_device soundcore 9056 1 snd uhci_hcd 29200 0 usbcore 103644 6 usbserial,hid,ehci_hcd,uhci_hcd subfs 7424 2 nls_utf8 2304 1 linux:~ # rmmod uhci_hcd linux:~ # modprobe ndiswrapper this ends in a system freeze after a min ... Is the only try is left to build a new kernel? Because I have not much experience with that :-(. But if so I will read how to build a new kernel. tia OLI |

It is not just ndiswrapper that will have problem; anything that uses IRQ 11 will not work. The kernel will not allow any device using IRQ 11 to work. You don't need to compile the kernel. You can upgrade it. In fact, the default kernel will not work anyway due to 4k stacks. Easiest thing to do is to get the precompiled kernel RPM from Linuxant and install it. -- Giri |

No problem ... this output is with the cvs version ... and after the comands: The sytem freeze comes with the latest stable version. If I should send this after installing this version please give me a short message.

Remove any old versions before installing the CVS version. Once you have successfully loaded ndiswrapper and your driver please re-send the interrupts stuff. Pontus |

Pontus, Even if he uses latest version of ndiswrapper, it won't work. The usb modules are loaded early in the boot process and they crash, so kernel disables IRQ 11. Later, ndiswrapper is allocated the same IRQ (by ACPI). BTW, Tim, ndiswrapper-0.8 module is at /lib/modules/2.6.5-7.104-default/extra/ndiswrapper.ko which you should remove and do 'depmod -a'. If you want to get it going without reinstalling another kernel, remove uhci-hcd.ko module also, possibly located at /lib/modules/2.6.5-7.104-default/kernel/drivers/usb/host/uhci-hcd.ko and then 'depmod -a' and reboot. -- Giri |

Hello, first thanks a lot for your really great the help! :-) Without your help I probably have to give up, because I had no idear to solve the system freeze myself. This problem is now solved. Today I build my first kernel myself. I'm really happy, now the card seems to be running. The system dont freeze anymore ... The module is loaded automaticly while booting the system ... But now is one problem left :-( ... I try to configure the card ... but the iwconfig comands dont work ... I hope you can help to walk the last step for work with wireless lan. I show you the output of my comands (but they don't have any effect to the configuration): linux:~ # iwconfig lo no wireless extensions. wlan0 IEEE 802.11g ESSID:off/any Nickname:"linux" Mode:Managed Frequency:2.462GHz Access Point: 00:00:00:00:00:00 Bit Rate=54Mb/s Tx-Power:16 dBm RTS thr=2347 B Fragment thr=2346 B Encryption key:off Power Management:off Link Quality:100/100 Signal level:-10 dBm Noise level:-256 dBm Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0 eth0 no wireless extensions. sit0 no wireless extensions. tun0 no wireless extensions. linux:~ # iwconfig wlan0 mode Managed linux:~ # iwconfig lo no wireless extensions. wlan0 IEEE 802.11g ESSID:off/any Nickname:"linux" Mode:Managed Frequency:2.462GHz Access Point: 00:00:00:00:00:00 Bit Rate=54Mb/s Tx-Power:16 dBm RTS thr=2347 B Fragment thr=2346 B Encryption key:off Power Management:off Link Quality:100/100 Signal level:-10 dBm Noise level:-256 dBm Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0 eth0 no wireless extensions. sit0 no wireless extensions. tun0 no wireless extensions. linux:~ # iwconfig wlan0 essid Doniluma linux:~ # iwconfig lo no wireless extensions. wlan0 IEEE 802.11g ESSID:off/any Nickname:"linux" Mode:Managed Frequency:2.462GHz Access Point: 00:00:00:00:00:00 Bit Rate=54Mb/s Tx-Power:16 dBm RTS thr=2347 B Fragment thr=2346 B Encryption key:off Power Management:off Link Quality:100/100 Signal level:-10 dBm Noise level:-256 dBm Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0 eth0 no wireless extensions. sit0 no wireless extensions. tun0 no wireless extensions. linux:~ # tia OLI |

Does your card work in windows with that AP? Is the AP far away? Does the AP have mac-filtering? Is ssid broadcast disabled on the AP? Pontus |

Read the wiki entry http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/List and look there for Acer Aspire 1501 entry.

Hi, thanks a lot for your posting! I hope to activate the card in this way, but at the moment it don't work in the described way. Do you know who has activated the card? Maybe I can write him a short mail ... tia OLI > In short, you need to compile acerhk module and load it with > > modprobe acerhk poll=0 autowlan=1 verbose=4 force_series=1700 echo on > > /proc/driver/acerhk/wirelessled > > and then load ndiswrapper module. |

I tried other drivers, than the known working from the page ... should I send these drivers to someone to put them to the ndiswrapper-Website? Because with the drivers from the website doesn't work. At this point again a lot of thanks to all the people in this list, especially to Pontus Fuchs and Giridhar Pemmasani! Without your help I was never be able to solve my problem. Thanks for your help! :-) Now I can see the AP. But only sometimes the dhcp will send a the dhcp information for wlan0 ... sometimes it takes minutes ... after getting the dhcp info and set the ip and so on - I'm a bit wondering the vpn-connection don't start and the ping to the vpn-Server don't work ... I don't understand why ... this afternoon I will try to use my AP at home - maybe its a Problem with this AP here at univerity ... I'm really confused why this is sometimes working and sometimes don't ...

Hmmm, this AP is from the uni mannheim, and everybody should be able to connect to this AP. Thats the way the people connect to the vpn. Thats the reason why I think that its not filtering ... and if so, the same problem have to appear with the windows connection. > Is ssid broadcast disabled on the AP? I don't know exactly what this is, but with windows he tell me that there is a Doniluma network reachable. Without enter the name of the essid ... therefor I think there is a ssid brodcast enabled ... greetings OLI |

Can you investigate this? Pontus |

Can you investigate this? Yes, my notebook have a button to enable/disable the card ... does this mean that there is no solution to use this wlan-card? But if I start windows the card is default always on ... even if I had the wlan disabled by shut down the system ... at the next windows start start the card is on ... I don't know if this button call a spcial program ... there is a lot of stuff is installed with this card ... is this a important fact? If so, I will have a look at the Windows installation ... OLI |
