1 Hi, i just got a NetGear WG111 USB adapter, and im trying to set it up
2 with ndiswrapper. all is good, except for loading the module. this is
3 the relevant output of dmesg:
4
5 ndiswrapper version 1.2 loaded (preempt=no,smp=no)
6 ndiswrapper: driver netwg111 (NETGEAR, Inc.,03/03/2004, 1.0.8.4) loaded
7 ndiswrapper (NdisWriteErrorLogEntry:314): log: C000138A, count: 3
8 (c0000001), return address: c4983fe3
9 ndiswrapper (ndiswrapper_add_usb_device:363): Windows driver couldn't
10 initialize the device (C0010006)
11 ndiswrapper: probe of 1-1:1.0 failed with error -22
12 usbcore: registered new driver ndiswrapper
13
14 modprobe doesnt get the same output, tho, this is the output of dmesg
15 when I modprobe it (the previous one was at reboot):
16
17 ndiswrapper version 1.2 loaded (preempt=no,smp=no)
18 usbcore: registered new driver ndiswrapper
19
20 I followd this guide in the forums:
21 http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-364599.html
22
23 The only difference I see between the output im supposed to be getting
24 and the one I get that could cause a problem is this line:
25
26 ndiswrapper version 1.2 loaded (preempt=no,smp=no) <---- MINE
27 ndiswrapper version 1.1 loaded (preempt=yes,smp=no) <---- ORIGINAL
28
29 Just to be sure, i unmasked ndiswrapper and installed 1.16, but I get
30 almost the same output:
31
32 ndiswrapper version 1.16 loaded (preempt=no,smp=no)
33 usbcore: registered new driver ndiswrapper
34
35 this is lsusb:
36 Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0846:4240 NetGear, Inc. WG111 WiFi (v2)
37
38 and iwconfig:
39 wmaster0 IEEE 802.11g ESSID:""
40 Mode:Master Frequency:2.412 GHz
41 RTS thr:off Fragment thr=2346 B
42 Encryption key:off
43
44 wlan0 IEEE 802.11g ESSID:""
45 Mode:Managed Frequency:2.412 GHz Access Point: Not-Associated
46 RTS thr:off Fragment thr=2346 B
47 Encryption key:off
48
49 those two are of a different adapter, a PCI one that's installed but
50 not running. I dont think that could be a problem, but who knows.
51
52 I havent found anyone on the forums or #gentoo with the same problem,
53 or any information in #nidwrapper or the wiki.
