[Ndiswrapper-general] invalid driver

[Oscar Alcantara Mendez <oscalc@ya...>]

I installed ndiswrapper in a laptop using FC4 kernel 2.6.15 and ndiswrapper 
1.8 and worked fine with DWL-650, but after an update to 2.6.16 and 1.13 in 
FC4 I got the "invalid driver" message.

Any ideas? hints?
Regards

Did you recompile ndiswrapper.ko? It needs to be compiled with the sources for the running kernel.

vermagic must match kernel, and its other modules.
