Dear all
I want to configure DLink 520+ Wireless card in my Linux system based
on Fedora Core 3.
During installation process with the use of Ndiswrapper , i got message
indicating to recompile the kernel. The default stack size is 4K.It
should be 16K so that ndiswrapper can work properly.
How can i increase the size of stack from 4k to 16K? where is this
option in kernel? or in which file i should made the necessary changes?

Yes, apparently the windows default is 8KB and the drivers assume that so
it is possible that you can run into trouble. It may not happen, but it
may.

So, use it as is, and maybe have to put up with random crashes, or
recompile. The linux default now seems to be 8K, and there is a config
variable called " CONFIG_4KSTACK" which configures a 4K rather than 8K
stack.( on 2.6.8.1) HOw to do 16K I do not know.

Thanks Unruh
It seems we are sailing in same boat. It is not clear to me how to
change CONFIG_4KSTACK in kernel.May be we have to adopt a readymade
kernal(if available) having 16K stack size , to get our job done.
