[Bug 294456] [NEW] Wireless interface occasionally doesn't show up using ndiswrapper

[Kent deVillafranca]

Public bug reported:

Using Hardy, after booting up, the wireless interface using ndiswrapper
will not show up at all (Network Manager doesn't see it, and it isn't
listed when I use ifconfig).  This happens only rarely, but has happened
on two different wireless cards (one wireless USB Zonet ZEW2500p, one
PCI-Express D-Link DWA-556).

The problem is fixed after doing
rmmod ndiswrapper
modprobe ndiswrapper
...so it seems like the ndiswrapper module is being loaded too early.  Or something.  I'm no expert.


The most recent time this problem occurred, I got the "forced disk check" message while booting - perhaps the disk check is somehow causing this problem?
