ndiswrapper lockup

Has anyone had any success with the ndiswrapper from sourceforge? I think
it might be the only way to get the card I purchased (Netgear WG311 wireless
PCI) running. I try to modprobe ndiswrapper but the keyboard locks up at
that point. I'm running Fedora Core 2? Any advice?

Yup. You may have to patch the kernel for 16K stacks. The patch can be
found here;

or you can get pre-compiled kernels from Linuxant here;

I needed to do this to make my intel 2200BG work. Of course, YMMV.

Good luck.
