hi Christopher, I've tried following the wiki instructions for using ndiswrapper , from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper but I'm not sure if I'm loading the driver correctly. when i run sudo depmod -a sudo modprobe ndiswrapper I dont seem to have the driver working. I'm not sure if the driver even loads. so I tried rebooting.
1) With the latest driver from Acer website for my laptop, the system does not reboot into Ubuntu if the driver is loaded. i have to boot into a different kernel , remove the driver and only then can i boot ubuntu into that particular kernel. 2) The wireless connection works without problems when I boot into windows xp. So i figured that this would be the best driver to use. I tried finding the driver from the windows Xp boot, but I was only able to find the .sys file and .dll, but could not find the .inf file in the windows partition. any ideas as to where i could find the .inf file? 3) Now the system does not load iwl3945 module every time i boot up the laptop.i manually have to run $ sudo modprobe iwl3945 each time. I tried commenting out the blacklist of the iwl3945 module & also removing the blacklist which i had to do during the ndiswrapper instructions, but that did not help. How do I make sure that the iwl3945 module loads automatically? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1249765 Title: 8086:4222 [Acer Aspire 5670] iwl3945 resets wireless connection frequently To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1249765/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
