Hi Tim, |
| 19 |
I had this same problem the other day. In the end I think (I THINK) |
| 20 |
that what I did to get it working was: |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
1) Compile, install and reboot into the new kernel 2.6.17-rt5 in my case |
| 23 |
2) re-emerge ndiswrapper |
| 24 |
3) Reinstall the Windows driver (ndiswrapper -i *.INF) |
| 25 |
4) Check that the driver and hardware were present. (ndiswrapper -l) |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
IIRC at that point I could modprobe it again. I was confused as to why |
| 28 |
I had to do all of that but it seemed to work for me. |
