I'm running slack 10.2 with kernel 2.6.13. i've installed ndiswrapper for my netgear pc card successfully. everything works except removing the ndiswrapper module from the kernel.
when i do
i still see the LED on my pc card lit up but when i check for the ndiswrapper module using lsmod there's nothing loaded into the kernel.
if i do modprobe ndiswrapper right after that and try to bring up my wlan0 interface it'll tell me that there's no such interface.
i've tried adding ndiswrapper to the blacklist but not luck. even tried installing ndiswrapper from scratch and that doesn't seem to work either.
i need to remove ndiswrapper from the kernel because of the way my notebook goes into sleep mode, sometimes after coming up from sleep it crashes my whole notebook and i have to reboot.
i had everything working fine yesterday until i re-did slackware on my notebook and installed everything from scratch.
if anyone could help me figure out what the problem is.
if it helps this is my modules configuration under the kernel config file

any help would be greatly appreciated. thank you

First, start from scratch (To help with troubleshooting)

Go to your ndiswrapper source dir, and typeThat will get you a good starting point.
Then reinstall your ndiswrapper driver.
then As far as removing it,tryI beleive it removes it a bit more completely than 'rmmod'
Also, the 'make uninstall' will definately remove it

Thanks for your reply. I figured out the problem after 5 hours of java. Looks like the PCMCIA card that i use (Netgear WG511 v2 - Taiwan) only works with ndiswrapper ver 1.1. Don't get me wrong, it works with other versions but i guess the module never removed from kernel. I installed 1.1 successfully and was able to remove the module from kernel successfully.

that's really weird to have to remove the module to let the pc go to sleep.

for me, I had to actually /etc/rc.d/rc.pcmcia stop
