 Posted: Sat Jan 22, 2005 6:06 am Post subject: error loading ndiswrapper |
 |
|
Well, I installed gentoo on my laptop, and got everything up and running except for one thing - my wireless. I have a microsoft wireless card (it was a gift, I swear), and I had it working on the same laptop using Mandrake 10.0. I decided to step up with the big boys with gentoo, but I can't get the kernel module for ndiswrapper to load.
I installed using emerge ndiswrapper, and then ran modules-update. When I try to modprobe ndiswrapper, I get this error:
| Code: |
FATAL: Error inserting ndiswrapper (/lib/modules/2.6.10-gentoo-r6/misc/ndiswrapper.ko): Invalid module format
|
Here's what I got when I installed:
| Code: | emerge ndiswrapper

After some googling, I am still baffled. I heard that the dmesg output could be helpful, so this is what I got.
| Code: |
ndiswrapper: Unknown symbol wireless_send_event
ndiswrapper: version magic '2.6.10-gentoo-r6 SMP preempt PENTIUM4 gcc-3.3' should be '2.6.10-gentoo-r6 SMP preempt PENTIUM4 4KSTACKS gcc-3.3' |
Any ideas? |

Another development. I've recompiled my kernel I don't know how many times trying to get this to work, but when I "make && make modules_install" I get this error:

Hi,
I had the same thing and I know the agony of this.
For the last problem I think I was forgetting to do (the last two lines):
| Code: |
make && make modules_install ##did this
cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/
cp System.map /boot/
|
Here is the thread:
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=232017&highlight=
As for the ndiswrappers...what I did is download it from the site (the source of course) and followd installation directions...(note you need the .inf file from the windows partition)
http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/

I now have ndiswrapper working - it took a fresh gentoo install. A lot of work, but worth it I hope. Now on to the next issue...
My laptop won't boot unless there is an ethernet cable attached. I removed net.eth0 from the runlevel default and got a boot, but then my wireless won't work. Even when I boot with the ethernet attached and then remove the cable to attempt some kind of wireless internet browsing, I have no connection. iwconfig lists my connection and essid, and ifconfig shows an appropriate IP, but it's as if gentoo doesn't know that it can use wireless as well as eth0. Any new ideas? |

Cheap-ass solution if it's some fucked up BIOS thing (maybe): Buy an Ethernet plug and hardwire it to loopback. |

Did this issue ever get resolved? I'm having the same trouble on 2.6.10 ndiswrapper .12r3
modprobe ndiswrapper
