Hi folks,

I'm new to the list, but searched the archives and couldn't find an answer.

I've just upgraded to FC4 from FC3, where I had a nicely working wlan
interface (LinkSys WPC54GS) via the ndiswrapper module loader.

After upgrading, I went to re-install ndiswrapper and discovered that
it won't work with the FC4 kernels, as they're built with the
CONFIG_4KSTACKS option. I installed the kernel source and went to
rebuild, and found that Fedora has apparently removed the option from
the configuration process to disable 4K stacks (grrr...)

Anyone have any hints on how I can get around this? I see #ifdef's in
the source tree for '#ifdef CONFIG_4KSTACKS', but not sure if I can
just define that someplace, and have the right things happen, or if
the changes are more involved than that.

Any ideas? Thanks!
Perhaps you could use one of these kernels:
http://www.linuxant.com/driverloader/wlan/full/downloads-fc4-i686.php

Linuxant provides FC4 kenels with stack size set to 16K, which should be sufficient for most uses. You might be able the use these with stack-hungry, ndiswrapped nt device drivers.
