So you may need to compile a new kernel or try the 2.6.4 or 2.6.3 from http://mirrors.usc.edu/pub/linux/fedora/fedora/fedora/1.90/i386/RPMS.updates/ . And when I say mirrors.usc.edu I really mean the equiv directory on the local mirror, ie. download.fedora.us. -Eric Hattemer I'm guessing it has something to do with the kernel stack. ndiswrapper needs to make use of a lot more of the kernel stack than most other things in kernel space. The kernel stack is extremely tiny and cannot handle. But then again this guess may be entirely wrong. You may get more certain help from the ndiswrapper's mailing list, or maybe fedora-list. Warren
