I actually almost had ndiswrapper working, at least it showed up in ifconfig and iwconfig. I could manage it, sort of, using the network configuration under Fedora Core 3. However, since I restarted the computer I now get

FATAL: Error inserting ndiswrapper (/lib/modules/2.6.10-1.741_FC3.stk16/misc/ndiswrapper.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)

Here is the last few lines after I type dmesg

[root@local ndiswrapper-1.0]# dmesg
:
:
:
Attached scsi removable disk sda at scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0
ndiswrapper: Unknown parameter `'
ndiswrapper: Unknown parameter `'
ndiswrapper: Unknown parameter `'


Now I was getting past this stage when before I rebooted, and was having a problem where every now and then I'd get garbage spewing out to the console, I was originally looking for a fix for that, as the wireless card seemed to be up and working, although I couldn't see the Access Point.

Other info if it helps.

Am using a Belkin F5D6001 (ver 3.0) PCI with Fedora Core 3 with kernel 2.6.10-741-stk16.

[root@local ndiswrapper-1.0]# ndiswrapper -l
Installed ndis drivers:
bel6001 driver present, hardware present


I also have used eth0 as the device name, rather than wlan0.

Cheers,

Colin

I have exactly the same problem - does anyone know where this parameter is specified?

I actually got the wireless card working, but now I can't even load ndiswrapper!

ndiswrapper is like the dog that can play the piano, it's not that it plays it badly but that it plays it at all that is remarkable, since it is an amazing cross-species driver hack.

What's in /etc/modprobe.conf? The option lines in there can pass module options and could cause this logged error.
