Ndiswrapper - "Driver is serialized. This will not work"


I had SuSe 9.1 working before with the Belkin 802.11b wireless card and ndiswrapper. After reinstalling everything, I couldn't get it to work again. Right after I reinstalled SuSe, and after loading the belkin XP driver in ndiswrapper, confirming it was "present," I did a modprobe ndiswrapper and then dmesg. At the end of the file, it reported that the "Driver is serialized. This will not work."

I suspect this is why I can't get an internet connection. Google searches and going through ndiswrapper help files and even asking in irc have all come up blank.

Thanks for your help.

It's so weird I can't get any help. Newsgroups, Linuxquestions.org, forums on the ndiswrapper project page, IRC - nothing.

How about the guy who wrote ndiswrapper? Obviously he must know what it means.

Were you using the ndiswrapper from SuSE or one you had instralled?
I could not get my F5D6020 working the SuSE's ndiswrapper
but it works fine with ndiswrapper-0.10 I built myself.
If you build your own I think you (may) need to re-build
after a kernel change.
