I have used ndiswrapper successfully with my: "Intel Corp. PRO/Wireless LAN 2100 3B Mini PCI Adapter (rev 04)" at my school with my 2.6.8 kernel and Debian.
Then i decided to compile a new 2.6.10 kernel, and I compiled a new version of ndiswrapper (1.0) as well, and linked it with the Windows XP drivers as I did before.
I am able to load the module successfully (dmesg):
Code:
ndiswrapper version 1.0 loaded (preempt=yes,smp=no)
ndiswrapper: driver w70n51 (Intel,04/26/2004,1.2.2.9) added
ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:02:02.0[A] -> GSI 11 (level, low) -> IRQ 11
ndiswrapper: using irq 11
wlan0: ndiswrapper ethernet device 00:0c:f1:21:69:0a using driver w70n51
wlan0: encryption modes supported: WEP, WPA with TKI
But when i use iwconfig I am unable to find any networks to connect to. The network must be running fine, because every-one else is able to connect and it worked fine with me before.
iwconfig:
Code:
wlan0 IEEE 802.11b ESSID:off/any

I have also tried to go back to kernel 2.6.8, and compile ndiswrapper to run on this kernel. It does the same thing.
