Hi, i just got a NetGear WG111 USB adapter, and im trying to set it up
with ndiswrapper. all is good, except for loading the module. this is
the relevant output of dmesg:

ndiswrapper version 1.2 loaded (preempt=no,smp=no)
ndiswrapper: driver netwg111 (NETGEAR, Inc.,03/03/2004, 1.0.8.4) loaded
ndiswrapper (NdisWriteErrorLogEntry:314): log: C000138A, count: 3
(c0000001), return address: c4983fe3
ndiswrapper (ndiswrapper_add_usb_device:363): Windows driver couldn't
initialize the device (C0010006)
ndiswrapper: probe of 1-1:1.0 failed with error -22
usbcore: registered new driver ndiswrapper

modprobe doesnt get the same output, tho, this is the output of dmesg
when I modprobe it (the previous one was at reboot):

ndiswrapper version 1.2 loaded (preempt=no,smp=no)
usbcore: registered new driver ndiswrapper

I followd this guide in the forums:
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-364599.html

The only difference I see between the output im supposed to be getting
and the one I get that could cause a problem is this line:

ndiswrapper version 1.2 loaded (preempt=no,smp=no) <---- MINE
ndiswrapper version 1.1 loaded (preempt=yes,smp=no) <---- ORIGINAL

Just to be sure, i unmasked ndiswrapper and installed 1.16, but I get
almost the same output:

ndiswrapper version 1.16 loaded (preempt=no,smp=no)
usbcore: registered new driver ndiswrapper

this is lsusb:
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0846:4240 NetGear, Inc. WG111 WiFi (v2)

and iwconfig:
wmaster0  IEEE 802.11g  ESSID:""
         Mode:Master  Frequency:2.412 GHz
         RTS thr:off   Fragment thr=2346 B
         Encryption key:off

wlan0     IEEE 802.11g  ESSID:""
         Mode:Managed  Frequency:2.412 GHz  Access Point: Not-Associated
         RTS thr:off   Fragment thr=2346 B
         Encryption key:off

those two are of a different adapter, a PCI one that's installed but
not running. I dont think that could be a problem, but who knows.

I havent found anyone on the forums or #gentoo with the same problem,
or any information in #nidwrapper or the wiki.
