Any idea ? > Thanks > Why remove the driver? For me ndiswrapper loads when I boot my laptop. The card is not activated until I insert it, and the interface is activated at that time. I can do an "ifconfig eth0 down" then remove the card without ever unloading the drivers, and simply plug it back in to reactivate it. I do not see a need to 'unload' the driver since ndiswrapper is a kernel module that activates other things. Also, with there are several threads related to problems in unloading modules on the 2.6 kernels. > -- > Eric Tanguy | Nantes, France > <eric.tanguy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Key : A4B8368F | Key Server : subkeys.pgp.net > Fedora Core release 3 (Heidelberg) sur athlon kernel 2.6.9-1.681_FC3 > -- > fedora-list mailing list > fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
