I believe I had tried that earlier... I don't have access to the card / laptop now, but will try it out when I get a chance.
However, just as a smell test, the explanation about the firmware loading makes more sense since ndiswrapper is loaded before NetworkManager even starts and my dmesg log spits out the error messages (I forget what they were exactly) before the networking init script runs. In these cases, I don't think it creates the wlan0 device at all. The current user of the laptop with the wireless dongle is happy that it works, but just has to remember to always shut down the PC instead of rebooting. -- [herd-5] no wlan0 device after loading ndiswrapper https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/89896 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
