Hey everyone, I am running slackware 10.1 on the new 2.6.11.8 kernel and am have a wireless network, which many of you know usually is causes problems to setup,
http://www.linksys.com/products/prod...id=36&prid=665
that is the usb network adapter I have, except version 4, but its same
And I was told to use ndiswrapper to set the windows driver to work on linux, so here is the driver i downloaded:
http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/p...548d#WUSB54Gv4
after installing ndiswrapper, I do teh following:
I go to the correct dir in the konsole where the driver is
and do
Code:
ndiswrapper -i rt2500usb.inf
I get message about driver being installed
I get message that similar to this
Quote:
Installed ndis drivers
bcmw15 driver present, hardware present
|
It's after this that it no longer works
Code:
modprobe ndiswrapper
After doing modprobe to load the module type
The konsole totally freezes and it wont do anything and just stays on modprobe and does go back to letting me type any commands. I exit out of konsole and start it back up and it lets me do normal commands like ls or cd, but when I do commands like ndiswrapper -l or modprobe it totally freezes up. It still lets me do stuff like ndiswrapper help or wahtever and it gives me the different commands, so it only freezes when it has to do w/ the driver.
So I restart the computer and when I load linux it gives me message that hda2 (which is my partition for root) was unmounted incorrectly and causes for a check for bad blocks. Anyone ever run into something similar or know what to do?
thanks a lot
