[Bug 36322] module 'mrv8k' doesn't load

[Fabio Silva]

Public bug reported:

Affects: linux-source-2.6.15 (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed


Description:
I'm an  owner of an Asus WL-138G (Marvell W8300) wifi card. I hadn't
problems with it in Breezy+ndiswrapper+XP CD driver.

But in dapper the system tries to  load (unfortunately) the mrv8k
module, as you can see:

[4294686.705000] mrv8k: probe of 0000:00:08.0 failed with error -2
------------------------------------

So I 'blacklisted' the module and installed ndiswrapper-utils. The .INF
driver loaded successfully, but when I do 'modprobe ndiswrapper' the
system  freezes some seconds later :-(

I hadn't this problems in Breezy... Isn't this a downgrade?

Thank you!
