Is it possible to install the D-Link DWL-G122 wireless USB adapter on SuSE 8.2 ?
 
I have the D-Link DWL-G122 wireless USB adapter but I'm facing lots of problems trying to install its driver on SuSE 8.2 kernel 2.4.20

I have attempted to use the ndiswrapper 0.11 but the modprobe ndiswrapper command always shows me error messages indicating unresolved symbols and that ndiswrapper failed to load.

Before using ndiswrapper, I installed the kernel source and the wireless tools from the SuSE CD using YaST and then I went on to install ndiswrapper according to the installation guidelines using the make and make install commands.

The driver I have tried to use with ndsiwrapper is the NetRTUSB.inf for WinXP and after installing the driver using ndiswrapper -i , I checked with ndiswrapper -l and it shows me that both the driver and hardware are present.

When I continue with the modprobe ndiswrapper command however, I receive the errors I mentioned before so I can't proceed any further.

I have also tried to disable the EHCI module with the rmmod ehci_hcd command because the DWL-G122 is a USB 2.0 device that I have to connect to the USB 1.0 port of the laptop I use, and I have read that this might conflict with the ndiswrapper loading correctly if the EHCI module isn't turned off, but still the same errors arise with the modprobe ndiswrapper command and it does not load.

I would be very grateful for any help and advice concerning this issue because I don't know what is preventing the ndiswrapper from loading correctly and according to the forum threads I have looked at, there shouldn't be any problems with the modprode ndiswrapper command.

Do you recall the exact error message?

ndiswrapper errors
 
These are the errors that are displayed when I use the modprobe ndiswrapper command to load ndiswrapper after the drivers have been installed

I have also added the following messages that appeared as ndiswrapper was installing when I used the make install command
