Thats unfortunately the way ndiswrapper works. Some drivers work with it others dont. I tried three different windows drivers with this wireless network card, each with varying results and stability. You mentioned intel chipsets j l, there are native drivers for all of them. On 1/31/06, j l <[EMA

In my case, I have an Athlon XP-M and the cpufreq modules don't work with a SMP system, so I have to recompile the kernel, the ndiswrapper modules and my webcam module every time a new kernel gets out. It would be great if we could have a non-SMP kernel, although I know it would mean extra work an

As has been mentioned, feel free to use the nosmp option. A full distro kernel compile takes more than half an hour on my system, and quite possibly well over an hour on most peoples so I am sure you can understand the extra time and work that would be involved for our already overloaded devs. P

I answer to all responses :) Like I said, recompile my kernel isn't a problem. But if ndiswrapper is avaible in extra, it would be great to work with a stock kernel else it's a little ridiculous no? My computer freezes after some minutes, that's the problem. SMP is good for pc with more than

Ever thought about compiling a kernel yourself? :) It's not very hard, and you can choose whenever you want it as a package or not... :) And it's probably much easier than trying to change the arch linux package core :-) Oscar On 13:02 Sun 29 Jan , SaintShakaJin wrote: > Hello, > > I've a p

Hello, I've a problem with ndiswrapper (1.8) and stock kernel 2.6.15.1. I know where it comes, SMP :( Ndiswrapper isn't compatible with SMP so I've 2 questions. Almost every distribution do a kernel with and without SMP activated so why Arch makes a kernel SMP by default. Is there a reason? If
