Hi Bob Goodwin! What I do know is that the new versions if ndiswrapper do need to be aware of where the kernel build is. I also know that you need to wrap a specific driver (ndiswrapper -i mydriver.dvr (iirc)), and associate it with a specific device (ndiswrapper -d XXXX:XXXX (iirc) (from lspci -n). To google "ndiswrapper.ko): Invalid module format" yields a lot about having the same versions of restricted modules, etc... and compiling ndiswrapper specifically for a given kernel. Oh yes, you need to make the kernel stack size not it's normal 4k but rather 16k for the hungry driver. Have fun! Tod
