Try
1)
ldd /bin/ping
If you get some "not found" then its the cause.
2)
strace -f /bin/ping localhost
This will trace every operation and thus produce a lot of output, probably the last line where the segfault occurs can help.
execve("/bin/ping", ["/bin/ping", "localhost"], [/* 86 vars */]) = -1 ENOEXEC (Exec format error)
--- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) ---
+++ killed by SIGSEGV +++

I'm kinda new to all this, could you perhaps explain what this means?
ENOEXEC is the error. I'm a bit lost to explain what is happening.
So, before ndiswrapper it was working? You have to revert _all_ what you did.
Do you have something called binfmt installed? Try to remove it.
Probably some important things have been modified by this ndiswrapper.
No clue really why this ENOEXEC comes here on certain binary. You said other binaries were working right?
For additionnal info, can you give the result of this:
ls -la /bin/ping
mount | grep "/ "
ll -tr /lib/ | tail
Thanks alot guys. Your replies have been very helpful.
I sorted the problem out by reinstalling iputils.
LOL, but once i did that my wireless didnt want to work with ndiswrapper again. When i did get ndiswrapper working again, the segmentation fault came back.
then i can see the device is activated cuz the light comes on.
but then when i try to connect to the network available, the knetwork manager get's to 28% and them bombs out. I've yet to sit and mess around with this some more....
