Info
WPA works. Slackware 10.2, Kernel 2.6.13
Works on ndiswrapper 1.10 (preempt=no,smp=no), Linux 2.6.15.4, Slackware 10.2
'iwconfig wlan0' -> IEEE 802.11FH (!); 'iwpriv wlan0 network_type g' -> IEEE 802.11g; works great!"
Tested with ndiswrapper 1.1 source compile. Also works with ndiswrapper 1.2 release, using Fedora Core 3, with 16k kernel from www.Linuxant.com (2.6.9-1.667), using Windows driver. Possible hang on 'modprobe ndiswrapper', but works on reboot, once ndiswrapper is in /etc/modprobe.conf via 'ndwrapper -m'. Note: have not tried any encryption settings. Note: Previous info here was wrong, win XP driver does not work
I'm using Ubuntu Breezy with Kernel 2.6.12-8-386. Ndiswrapper is provided by Ubuntu Breezy Colony 3 CD and version is 1.1-4. I also tried with Ubuntu Horay and its ndiswrapper seems to be broken. Once I upgrade to Breezy and it all works fine.
You cannot have preemtive kernel. It hangs either on modprobe, or randomly later. Tried with 2.6.8, 2.6.12, 2.6.13.4 and ndiswrapper1.1 and 1.4.
