Package: ndiswrapper-source
Version: 1.53-1
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system
I'm using a TP-LINK WN3222 usb wireless dongle.
After loading the module, everything works fine for a few miutes, then the
whole system freezes and a 'hard reboot' is required.
On a different machine running Lenny with same software, it works fine.
I have the same issue for 2 machines running Etch - one freezes, the other is
fine - should i create a separate bug for the Etch case?
What further information would you like? lspci -v output for the freezing /
working machines??
I have checked it again, and I can find no such device, only
a WN322G. If it is that device, could you please try the
zd1211rw driver in the standard kernel[1], after installing
zd1211-firmware. This should be better than ndiswrapper.

Hi Julian,
Yes, it was a WN322G - sorry for any confusion. Its a while ago now
but i think i recall that ndiswrapper would consistently bork over usb2,
but was fine over usb1.
I can confirm that this device does work well with the zd1211rw
driver and firmware, but i read somewhere (but can't find it now!) that
kernel >=2.6.27 is required for this device. My tests with zd1211rw have
been on a box running Arch Linux - i'll test on this one (running
squeeze) just to make sure.
