Package: ndiswrapper-source
Version: 1.53-2
The problem appears to be that the version of ndiswrapper-source
provided with Lenny intermittently kills my wifi connection for the
dwl-g132 usb adapter. I can copy small files over the network
successfully, mostly. However, larger files >100MB are less likely to
complete.
There are no noted errors however, I am not that adept at
troubleshooting linux and have little knowledge of where which
subsystems (networking, usb) place their error messages.
This problem seems to be fixed by compiling version 1.53 source
downloaded from sourceforge. Here is how I know:
Last year, I installed Debian Etch to this computer. At the time I could
not get ndiswrapper-source for Etch to work properly with the dwl-g132.
So, at that time I dnloaded the latest ndiswrapper source from
sourceforge. That version was 1.53. After compilation and installation
the dwl-g132 worked flawlessly. I then upgraded (dist-upgrade) this
system to Lenny a couple of months ago. I used the same ndiswrapper 1.53
source from sourceforge to compile the module. Again, the adapter worked
flawlessly. Both times, Etch and in Lenny, I used version 1.21 of the
windows driver available from the Dlink support site.
Fast forward to this weekend. I had a harddrive crash. I had a spare
drive lying around and reinstalled the system with Lenny. I noted that
the ndiswrapper-source that comes with Lenny was version 1.53. I apt-get
install ndiswrapper-source. Then I compiled the module, setup the
network adapter and everything worked. Then I started copying some files
and noticed that anything large would not complete. All connection to my
computer was lost. From the computer with Lenny freshly installed I
tried to ping my router, nothing. After 30 seconds or so it
reestablished its connection. Having the version of ndiswrapper 1.53 I
downloaded from sourceforge months ago I compiled it and installed it.
The adapter is working flawlessly now.
I'm sending this bug report, not for myself, but for the maintainers. I
do not request assistance. However, there is something different between
the Debian maintained ndiswrapper-source and that of which I obtained
from Sourceforge. The first doesn't work well. The latter does. Beats me
what the difference is. All I can tell is they are both version 1.53.
I'll be happy to provide assistance if requested in order to
troubleshoot this problem. But, again, I'm only filing this bug report
to possibly help others and/or the maintainers. As far as I'm concerned
I've fixed the problem by not using the maintained ndiswrapper-source.

It's six years later, closing this now.
