Jan, I made sure it wasnt working by uninstalling the thing via YAST. OK Richard, thanks. That's what I now also did, powersave is now completely removed from the system.
I have since been reading more about the powersaved and it warns you that you must not have apm or acpi daemons running while powersave is going. You can verify they are off by doing a: chkconfig apmd chkconfig acpid Both commands return : unknown service So, there cannot be a conflict with these. :-) Subsequently I start ndiswrapper, and insert the SMC2835W card. All is working fine ........... for about 10 minutes and then the system freezes again. Sigh !
BTW, I'm running the same kernel you are with ndiswrapper on one laptop and driverloader on the other and both are working fine.. Ehhh, which same kernel ? 2.6.5-7.111.5-default or 2.6.9 ?
Have you tried the driverloader from linuxant? I had to go to it for my dell after an upgrade screwed up the nidswrapper stuff. I have a compaq that the ndiswrapper works fine on. Same type of chipset though. Yes I have also tried driverloader with exactly the same results : it works fine for a while and then the system freezes.
I wonder if there would be a buffer somewhere that is filling up, or a timer that expires ?????? The freeze usually happens after about 10 minutes. Cheers, -- Jan Elders the Netherlands http://www.xs4all.nl/~jrme/ "Home of the Network Acronyms"
