Ndiswrapper and Centrino - Working

[gurke]

Hi, just wanted, to let you know that ndiswrapper is now working with the centrino wlan.

Be sure that you have SMP support disabled in your kernel, and that you got the latest WinXP drivers from your manufacturer, then grab the cvs (or 0.3 if its out) and have some fun.
Its working great on my Dell i8600.

Ndiswrapper is a wonderful project.

I am having great success with ndiswrapper and the broadcom 94306 chipset. The authors of this project are extremely helpful and ambitious. I really appreciate their efforts.

I've tried the ndiswrapper with my centrino ( toshiba Satellite M20 )

No luck, even with the cvs build.

Any suggestions? Here's basically what I'm getting when trying to load the driver provided by Toshiba:

NEVER MIND!!!

I grabbed the driver from the ndiswrapper site for the intel 2100, and its working perfectly.

For the record:

Toshiba M20 Centrino 1.3gz
Using the driver for the Acer TravelMate 803 for the intel 2100 posted here:

http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/supported_cards.html

2.6 kernel, and basically just followed the README. No problems with this driver at all.
