I don't think I'm using ndiswrapper directly (unless NetworkManager uses it), but I have version 1.8-0ubuntu2 of ndiswrapper-utils installed. I'm using the ipw2200 driver and NetworkManager reports ipw2200 under it's Connection Information. ndiswrapper -l currently lists no installed drivers. Back before I installed Network Manager I tried using ndiswrapper and installed the windows driver w29n51 with it. I gave up on ndiswrapper as my solution and uninstalled the w29n51 driver. It's likely I might have followed the instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper and performed the "sudo depmod -a" and "sudo modprobe ndiswrapper" commands. However, now when I check "modprobe -c | grep ndiswrapper" I get only one entry: "alias wlan0 ndiswrapper". (AFAIK, I'm only using eth0 and eth1, not the name wlan0, soooo I'm not sure if this modprobe -c entry is important or not.) Looking at /etc/modules, the only lines listed are lp mousedev psmouse I think this means ndiswrapper isn't being loaded (explicitly by me) at boot-up. Is it worth trying something like "modprobe -r ndiswrapper"? For what it's worth, I'm using kernel version 2.6.15-26-386. Further advice greatly appreciated, --Leigh _______________________________________________ NetworkManager-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
