NDISWrapper and the circle of Hate

ryanroler · 11-04-2004, 10:01 PM

I've been trying for quite awhile now, and this is the closest I've gotten to getting it to work. I've installed the driver, but then there's a problem. When I try to modprobe ndiswrapper in, it fails:

ndiswrapper: unknown symbol wireless_send_event

Any suggestions? I'm running the newest (0.11) version of ndiswrapper on Slackware 10, with a 2.6.9 kernel. Thanks for any help.

hello ryan,

I think that recompilation of wireless tools would be a good place to start. Visit

for the latest source files. Dont forget to enable the config option CONFIG_NET_RADIO in your kernel setup.
Regards
Chris

Thanks a ton, I'll try that now.

Well, that didn't exactly work, thanks for the link though. What I did to get things to work was to recompile wireless-tools (as you said), 'make mrproper' the kernel, and recompile it. I'm not sure why that worked, but it did, thanks for setting me on the right track.
