CentOS - May 2008 - ndiswrapper and 4K stacks problem (system freezes)

Hi Folks,

I'm trying tio install WLAN - USB - Stick Netgear WG111v3.

ndiswrapper -i wg111v3 

works.

I can see ndiswrapper -l

	wg111v3: driver installed
	device (0846:4260) present

But after modprobe ndiswrapper the system freezes.

Troublshooting on ndiswrapper-sites says:

It's a problem of "kernel is using 4K stacks (CONFIG_4KSTACKS)"

Solution: recompile the kernel.

That's no good solution. 
Is there a knowing "CentOS-like" solution for this problem?

Thx
Timothy

Need more info here...

What is your kernel version, arch?  uname -mr ?
How did you install ndiswrapper?

Akemi

It works with the Kernel-Modul from atrpms

	ndiswrapper-kmdl-2.6.18-53.1.19.el5.centos.plus-1.52-16.el5.i686.rpm
