Problem modprobing ndiswrapper


I am trying to set up a Belkin 54g Wireless PCI card using the latest version of ndiswrapper, but it isn't working. I'll run through what I did.

1. I installed ndiswrapper from the tar file.

2. I used ndiswrapper to wrap the driver off the cd by typing

ndiswrapper -i /media/cdrecorder/files/drivers/bcmwl5a.inf

3. I verified this by using ndiswrapper -l and I got this output:

Installed ndis drivers:
bcmwl5a driver present, hardware present

4. Finally, I typed modprobe ndiswrapper, and I got this horrible output:

I am running SuSE 9.0 with a full installation, although I have not upgraded to the latest kernel. If you have any idea what is wrong, your help would be greatly appriciated.

Near the bottom, that tutorial discusses the unresolved symbol error. I don't know anything about it, but maybe it'll be enough to get you started until an expert chimes in.

I'll try out what it says, but it seems a bit generic.
