Hello, Some time ago, I installed Ndiswrapper 0.12 on my SuSE 2.6.5-7.111.5-default in order to get my new SMC 2835W wireless LAN card working. (Ndiswrapper is needed because this version of the 2835W uses a Frisbee chip, for which there are no Linux drivers yet) That worked fine .... for a few minutes and then my system "froze". I could not think of a particular reason for that to happen, but I suspected that maybe something was wrong in my kernel. So, I decided to install the latest 2.6.9 kernel from kernel.org. That went well and I could work with the card via ndiswrapper ....... for a while, after which also the 2.6.9 system "froze". I am totally lost where to look for causes / clues. I don't see anything peculiar in my /var/log/messages, but maybe I'm overlooking something ? Any ideas ?
