Question installing WUSB54Gv4 w/ ndiswrapper 1.1 on sid.


Ahoy,

I'm running sid, w/ kernel 2.6.8-2, installed packages ndiswrapper-modules-2.6.8-2-686_1.1-2_i386 and ndiswrapper-utils_1.1-4_i386 I downloaded the windows drivers for this thing from the linksys site and then ran
Code:
ndiswrapper -i rt2500usb.inf
it installs succesfully and when i run
Code:
ndiswrapper -l
it says
Code:
rt2500usb          driver present, harware present
now the problem is that when i run

Code:
modprobe ndiswrapper
it gives me the following error and the program hangs ( the system is fine and i can use it by switching into another tty) and most importantly the adapter doesn't work

Here's the error
Code:
ndiswrapper version 1.1 loaded (preempt=yes,smp=no)
ndiswrapper: driver rt2500usb (Linksys,01/07/2005, 2.00.00.0000) loaded

Google hasn't been much help.

Any ideas?
Thanks,

Immediately after you modprobe ndiswrapper, take a look at the last few lines of /var/log/syslog it should give you more information.

I cant help much since I dont have experience of linksys products but you should also check the output of lsmod to see if any other wlan driver is loaded. I have found with SMC products that they often load the prism54 driver when they are not prism chipsets and then the two drivers conflict.

Hope this helps a bit

Please do not post the same thread in more than one forum. Picking the most relevant forum and posting it once there makes it easier for other members to help you and keeps the discussion all in one place.
