I've tried force installing the two packages from gutsy ndiswrapper-utils-1.9_1.43-1ubuntu2_amd64.deb ndiswrapper-common_1.43-1ubuntu2_all.deb
but they didn't make any difference and ubuntu does behave as before: sometimes it does connect, but then connection drops after 15/20 mins. while network-manager continues to display all the blue bars. Also it seems to me that there's no real difference as 1.43 and the new 1.5 ubuntu packages both contain the same ndiswrapper 1.9. Maybe the bug is more likely related to wpasupplicant or the interaction between ndiswrapper and wpasupplicant. A fact is that it always connects fine if the wifi is not encrypted. Also, as stated before, Gutsy has no problem whatsoever and even Hardy connects in encrypted mode if the old gusty kernel 2.6.24-12-generic is used. So, kernel bug? Wpasupplicant? Wpasupplivant driver? Feature? I don't know... Anyway, I haven't tried an a clean install/live cd, but I'm afraid it won't make any difference. k3lt01, which packages have you installed? Are they older than the those I've tried? And, above all, is it still working for you? -- [Hardy] ndiswrapper does not function with 2.6.24 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/194714 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
