My /var/log/messages says : kernel: ndiswrapper: unsupported module, tainting kernel. kernel: ndiswrapper version 0.8 loaded loadndisdriver: loadndisdriver: main(479): version 0.12 started loadndisdriver: loadndisdriver: main(483): Usage: loadndisdriver <debug> <version> [-a] [driver] kernel: ndiswrapper: loadndiswrapper failed (256) Seemingly a conflict : ndiswrapper vs. 0.8 and loadndisdriver vs. 0.12 !?

But it's really been a while since I've touched it. James |

YES ! This "find" showed me that apart from removing ndiswrapper.ko from /lib/modules/`uname -r`/misc/ (as indicated in the "Uninstall" instructions) I also had to remove it from /lib/modules/`uname -r`/extra/ Probably, the initial YaST install of ndiswrapper 0.8 had put it there ?? Anyway, after removal of both of these ndiswrapper.ko 's, and reinstalling ndiswrapper 0.12, it loaded correctly and is functioning well. Thanks for your help James. -- Jan Elders the Netherlands http://www.xs4all.nl/~jrme/ "Home of the Network Acronyms" |
