For example could something like ia32-libs be used? If not, how much effort would be involved to get this to happen, would this require kernel changes, or just changes to ndiswrapper?Thanks,Mark ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Doing More with Less: The Next Generation Virtual Desktop What are the key obstacles that have prevented many mid-market businesses from deploying virtual desktops?

I was too optimistic to write in a recent subversion commit that the USB problems in ndiswrapper have been fixed. I managed to unload ndiswrapper several times in a row so I concluded that my fix (canceling an IRP before freeing it) was the right fix for the problem. I still think my fix was correct. Freeing an irp with a cancel routine is not a good idea. But it wasn't relevant to the actual problem. The actual problem happens if IoCancelIrp() is called directly from the Windows driver. It doesn't happen every time. As far as I can tell, there are three different problems, and it's not clear if they are connected. 1) The freed URB is accessed for writing after being freed. I believe that's the real source of instability after ndiswrapper is unloaded. 2) IoCancelIrp() is called with an IRP that has stack location pointing the end of the memory allocated for the IRP. That leads to reading dev_obj from random memory.

In fact, all the changes in this release are by him. Following is short summary of changes: * Added support for Linux 2.6.35 - Linux 3.1 * Kernels as old as 2.6.14 are now supported * IW_AUTH_MFP implemented * Reserve stack before copying arguments when calling from Windows to Linux   on x86_64 * Fixed a kernel panic if there are many devices for one driver and one   fails to initialize * Fixed a kernel panic with Marvell USB if ndiswrapper is reloaded * Fixed support for AVM Fritz USB * Loading drivers with unknown symbols is disallowed, it's a certain crash * Fixed procfs registration if the network device is renamed * Added more function stubs * Build system improved * Code cleanup, fixed many warnings, style issues and typos Please test this version as changes have been all over the place and if something is broken, it helps to know now than later. We expect to release 1.57 soon (couple of weeks at most).

I hope I'm doing this correctly. I have a HP G62-355DX laptop running Linux 2.6.36 from Slackware. This laptop has PCI Atheros Communications Inc. AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01) network card. It uses the Linux ath9k driver, but I'm having problems with it. Since I've used ndiswrapper successfully in the past with my old laptop, I thought I'd give it a try. I downloaded the SVN trunk for revision 2729. It compiled and installed just fine, and the WinXP driver installed as well: newlaptop-pts/5:/var/log% /usr/sbin/ndiswrapper -l netathw : driver installed device (168C:002B) present (alternate driver: ath9k) But when I try to modprobe it, I get this error: May 7 07:11:52 laptop kernel: Disabling lock debugging due to kernel taint May 7 07:11:52 laptop kernel: ndiswrapper (import:233): unknown symbol: ntoskrn l.exe:'IoUnregisterPlugPlayNotification' May 7 07:11:52 laptop kernel: ndiswrapper (import:233): unknown symbol: ntoskrn l.exe:'IoRegisterPlugPlayNo</pre> hymie! 2011-05-07T11:46:23 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.drivers.ndiswrapper.general/6432 <pre>Hello, I have been wrestling with the installation of akmod-ndiswrapper on my Fedora 14 64 bit machine.

We need another release. It turns out that the i386 compilation was broken since Linux 2.6.31. The code assumed that Linux 2.6.31 and newer export cmpxchg8b() on i386, but it wasn't true for any kernel version. To anticipate future compile errors, I checked compilation with the current linux-next branch, which includes changes scheduled for the future kernels. Everything was fine for i386 and x86_64. I made a change to satisfy realtime kernels distributed by Ubuntu. They don't have init_MUTEX. There is one big thing that needs to be done. It's porting the configuration from Wireless Extension to cfg80211. Linux 2.6.33 will disable wireless extensions unless some old wireless driver is enabled (e.g. ipw2100). That will surely result in user complaints. But that effort is better done in a separate release. </pre> Pavel Roskin 2010-02-01T23:08:54 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.drivers.ndiswrapper.general/6428 <pre>hi, I have a usb-key wireless USrobotics 5421 in archlinux 32bit following this: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/ndiswrapper/index.php?title=US_Robotics_USR805421 all works OK I have problem installing it on archlinux 64bit I use this: http://www.usr.com/support/5421a/5421a-files/5421-v6.01.19.10x64.exe but I find only .inf file and no .sys can you help me? thankyou sacarde&lt; at &gt;tiscali.it p.s. http://sourceforge.net/projects/ndiswrapper/forums/forum/323168/topic/3526052/index/page/1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Throughout its 18-year history, RSA Conference consistently attracts the world's best and brightest in the field, creating opportunities for Conference attendees to learn about information security's most important issues through interactions with peers, luminaries and emerging and established companies. http://p.sf.net/sfu/rsaconf-dev2dev </pre> sacarde 2010-01-24T09:09:34 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.drivers.ndiswrapper.general/6426 <pre>I have Ubuntu running on a G3 Powerpc, but cannot get the wireless to work.
