I tried that but I get in dmesg: ndiswrapper version 1.50 loaded (smp=yes, preempt=no) ndiswrapper (link_pe_images:576): fixing KI_USER_SHARED_DATA address in the driver ndiswrapper: driver net5211 (,06/21/2007,5.3.0.56) loaded ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:04:00.0[A] -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 17 ndiswrapper (ZwClose:2227): closing handle 0x0 not implemented PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:04:00.0 to 64 ndiswrapper (NdisWriteErrorLogEntry:191): log: C0001389, count: 4, return_address: ffffffff8809a56e ndiswrapper (NdisWriteErrorLogEntry:194): code: 0x14858800 ndiswrapper (NdisWriteErrorLogEntry:194): code: 0x28 ndiswrapper (NdisWriteErrorLogEntry:194): code: 0x100ca000 ndiswrapper (NdisWriteErrorLogEntry:194): code: 0x100ca000 ndiswrapper (mp_init:216): couldn't initialize device: C000009A ndiswrapper (pnp_start_device:439): Windows driver couldn't initialize the device (C0000001) ndiswrapper (mp_halt:259): device ffff810017576700 is not initialized - not halting ndiswrapper: device eth%d removed ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:04:00.0 disabled ndiswrapper: probe of 0000:04:00.0 failed with error -22 Does that mean Acer uses a special implementation of AR5006EG that won't work with the standard AR5006EG driver? - Grant -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
