intel pro/wireless 2200BG problem

gorgoneoa · 04-12-2006, 05:59 PM

i have ndiswrapper installed and i installed the driver for my wireless card and when i go ndiswrapper -l it lists my card and detects the hardware. When i try to load ndiswrapper(modprobe ndiswrapper) it gives me this error:

FATAL: Error inserting ndiswrapper(/lib/modules/2.6.15-1.2054_FC5/misc/ndiswrapper.ko) Invalid module format

ive been trying to fix this for awhile but am having no luck.

Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated, thanks

Make sure the ndiswrapper module and the kernel match.
What seems to happen is the kernel gets updated but not ndiswrapper.

i have the latest version of ndiswrapper, is that what your refering to or is there something else(im pretty new to linux)?

thanks

I'm not real sure, see if
/lib/modules/2.6.15-1.2054_FC5/misc/ndiswrapper.k
matches
uname -a
here you can see how many different ndiswrapper rpms there are for fedora5

Just need to make sure your kernel and the ndiswrapper rpm are the same
