 |
|
| I have no clue what's causing this. I have a generic pci card with the rtl8180l chipset, and it seems to work fine under windows. I can add the *.inf file, ndiswrapper -l shows what's expected, and the proper alias is there, but for whatever reason the ndiswrapper module isn't found? I tried recompiling the program against the kernel and rebooting, but that didn't work. Any suggestions/stuff I should check? |

Check which kernel you're using 
| Code: | $ find /lib/modules/ -name ndiswrapper.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.22-rc5/misc/ndiswrapper.ko
$ uname -r
2.6.22-rc5 |

| Code: | $ find /lib/modules/ -name ndiswrapper.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.18/misc/ndiswrapper.ko |
So it's there, but not used... 
| Code: | $ uname -r
2.6.18-gentoo-r6 |

Spot the difference between those two lines. Can't mix up modules with different kernel versions, or "subversions". Correct the /usr/src/linux symlink. |

Ah, didn't know that... 
Welp, I should be o.k. then. Might as well wait a day and a half for it to sync/update anyway. Thanks! |

| Went through a couple kernels (weird f'n K6, gentoo was the only distro (out of 4) that would install), but everything's working great now. Thanks again for the help! |
