I downloaded the linux driver from the sourceforge site. After compiling it there were a couple of minor problems which I was able to correct. Overall the card appears to work, I link ad-hoc with a USR card. I never had to drop into the Ndis-wrapper. http://sourceforge.net/projects/rt2400/ Watch out for the installation where there may be a call for ra0 device as opposed to the standard wlan0, I changed the source a little and it worked but I was told that that really isn't necessary. phil |

I keep getting make file errors. No one one the rt2400 mailinglist has any idea what could be wrong. One guy thinks it's because my "kernel source is unconfigured", but I can compile ndiswrapper just fine. Unfortunately, ndis doesn't seem to support the windows driver. I suppose the only thing worse than having no drivers is having two broken ones. Chris |

You haven't described which version of ndiswrapper you are using and which Windows driver. Read FAQ and Bugs entries in Wiki. -- Giri |

As stated in wiki, you should submit debug trace which is useful to identify why kernel crashed. From your earlier message, I gather that you are using SMP. First disable SMP and try. If that works, but fails with SMP enabled, then there are issues with SMP, for which debug trace is necessary to fix the issues. -- Giri |

I posted the stack trace from the system log in my earlier email.
