[Bug 89896] Re: [herd-5] no wlan0 device after loading ndiswrapper

[Garo Yeriazarian]

I believe I had tried that earlier... I don't have access to the card /
laptop now, but will try it out when I get a chance.

However, just as a smell test, the explanation about the firmware
loading makes more sense since ndiswrapper is loaded before
NetworkManager even starts and my dmesg log spits out the error messages
(I forget what they were exactly) before the networking init script
runs.  In these cases, I don't think it creates the wlan0 device at all.

The current user of the laptop with the wireless dongle is happy that it
works, but just has to remember to always shut down the PC instead of
rebooting.
