 |
|
I have a microsoft mn-730 wireless card. I'm using a driver that's a bit of a workaround, but recommended by ndiswrapper website.
ndiswrapper -l says driver is present, and harware present
#modprobe ndiswrapper
| Code: | | FATAL: Error inserting ndiswrapper (/lib/modules/2.6.9-gentoo-r13/misc/ndiswrapper.ko): Invalid module format |
#dmesg
| Code: | | ndiswrapper: version magic '2.6.9-gentoo-r13 SMP preempt K7 gcc-3.3' should be '2.6.9-gentoo-r13 SMP preempt K7 4KSTACKS gcc-3.3' |
TIA,
Fred |

Are you using 4Kstacks in your kernel.. I think that ndiswrapper has a problem with this... You might try a kernel without 4Kstacks...

Yeah, when I first emerged ndiswrapper, it told me to turn of 4k stacks. So I did, and when I recompiled and rebooted, it was like the whole kernel went back to default, and none of my modules ( nvidia, sound cards, etc. ) would load.
So I went back to my original kernel, and then tried to emerge again and it worked. But it just doesn't load the module right. I'll try to recompile again. Thanks for the advice.
