My wireless network appears to working fine. But I have one issue with
ndiswrapper which I can't figure out. When I execute ndiswrapper -l it reports a different card driver loaded which is not. [linux]> ndiswrapper -l netwg511 : driver installed device (1260:3890) present (alternate driver: prism54pci) [linux]> I blacklisted the prism54pci driver. # driver blacklisted and replaced by ndiswrapper blacklist prism54 blacklist prism54pci Since I don't see any real problems in the network I wonder if it matters. Is it normal for the other driver to be reported by this command? System: [linux]> ndiswrapper -v utils version: '1.9', utils version needed by module: '1.9' module details: filename: /lib/modules/2.6.21-1.3228.fc7/misc/ndiswrapper.ko version: 1.47 vermagic: 2.6.21-1.3228.fc7 SMP mod_unload 686 4KSTACKS |

I discovered that the reference pf prism54pci was coming from the modules.pcimap file in the kernel modules directory. So I ran depmod -a to re-write all the map files. Now when I run ndiswrapper -l it just reports, [linux]> ndiswrapper -l netwg511 : driver installed device (1260:3890) present [linux]> |
