I have same problem. If I use kernel 2.6.15 with ndis 1.7 I get error Kernel BUG at include/linux/gfp.h:80 invalid operand: 0000 [1] PREEMPT Please try ndiswrapper-1.9 that is in package.mask. I don't have the hardware handy so I haven't been able to test it myself yet. (In reply to comment #2) ndiswrapper-1.9 was an improvement, but had the same problem.

I have Acer Ferrari withn AMD Turion. Version 1.11 2006-03-25 ====================== * Added support for newer RNDIS (USB) cards (e.g., USR5421, F5D7051uk, WUSB54GSv2, all based on Broadcom chip). These support WPA2, whereas older RNDIS cards support only WPA. * Kernel crash when removing USB cards fixed. * Fixed performance issues with SMP. * Added support for AMD Am1772. * Added '-a' option to ndiswrapper script to generate module alias lines that can be used with udev so ndiswrapper module is loaded automatically when a card is inserted. Version 1.10 2006-02-11 ====================== * Added support for 64-bit USB drivers. Not tested with any driver, though. * Bug fixes. Looks like 1.11 could solve this bug. I am happy to report that ndiswrapper-1.11 completely solves this problem I have tested both linux-2.6.15-gentoo-r7 and linux-2.6.14-gentoo-r5 (In reply to comment #6) > I am happy to report that ndiswrapper-1.11 completely solves this problem > I have tested both linux-2.6.15-gentoo-r7 and linux-2.6.14-gentoo-r5 > Good to hear. 1.11 is now unmasked so marking this as resolved. |
