Ndis wrapper error after modprobe

Tezgno · 08-15-2004, 12:50 PM

I recently installed ndiswrapper onto my laptop running Fedora Core 2. Everything installed correctly. I then proceeded to install the driver for my Xterasys 802.11G card. It installed correctly. However, when I execute:

modprobe ndiswrapper

I get the following error in dmesg:

Failed to allocate DMA coherent memory. Windows drivers requested 204800 bytes of un-cached memory. Error -22

How do I go about fixing this error.

Thanks.

System:
Sony VAIO PCG-R505EL
512MB RAM
30GB HD
Fedora Core 2

This thread might help you, although it seems this solution was not perfect for the guy that tried it. Still, perhaps you'll have more luck. You can always try posting on the ndiswrapper mailing list or forums yourself if you can't find a solution elsewhere.

I'll give that a try and see if that works.
