I read this:

I set CONFIG_PCI_MSI=y (and unset CONFIG_4KSTACKS, just in case.)

It is how someone got the driver i'm using to stop causing kernel panic upon loading the module, where and how would i do this. I am lost. Thanks in advance.

This looks like instructions for configuring the kernel to me. There is a guide here.

Could you provide a link to where you read this, and the hardware, and drivers in question?
good luck.

In the kernel source, make menuconfig,
Bus options (PCI, PCMCIA, EISA, MCA, ISA) --->
[ ] Message Signaled Interrupts (MSI and MSI-X)

then < Exit > back to the main menu and

Kernel hacking --->
[ ] Use 4Kb for kernel stacks instead of 8Kb

Thank you very much for that link, and here is the direct quote:

Card: Linksys WPC54G V2, 54Mbps
Chipset: Texas Instruments ACX 111
pciid: 104c:9066
Driver: Linksys ftp://ftp.linksys.com/pub/network/wp...lity_v2.02.zip
Other: linux-2.6.8-gentoo kernel, ndiswrapper 0.10.Kept having kernel panic (interrupt-related) upon module load until I set CONFIG_PCI_MSI=y (and unset CONFIG_4KSTACKS, just in case.) Also, used "ndiswrapper -i LSTINDS.INF" (NOT lsbcmnds.inf). Works with 64 and 128-bit WEP.

And here is the site it came from:
