| From: Lonni J Friedman <netllama@xxxxxxxxx> | Sadly, even with the 8k stacks kernel, I'm getting an immediate kernel | BUG() followed by crash of the OS when doing a "modprobe ndiswrapper". | This is with the latest ndiswrapper release (1.50) as well as the | 1.47 release. I guess i'm entirely screwed at this point. My experience may or may not be relevant. I set up Ubuntu Feisty on my son's Acer Aspire 5570-2792. I wrote up my experience here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/AcerAspire5570-2792 Near the end is a description of the wireless part of the story. I had tried madwifi + HAL and got HAL status 13. That was not even logged. Anyway, HAL is a black box and apparently the open source folks cannot to get the author to respond to problem reports. This might be relevant: http://madwifi.org/ticket/1206 I ended up trying ndiswrapper. It did not work. But I found the author on IRC and he actually sshed into my machine (with permission), figured out the problem, and checked a fix into the repository. Now that is service! I've not touched the setup since May -- the box is thousands of kilometers away. I don't know how reliable the WiFi is.
