Bug Description

The windows inf driver for Atheroes ar5007eg works with ndiswrapper on 64-bit Hardy. After every boot, I have to remove the windows inf driver and then re-install it. Without doing this, the networks are detected, I am able to select a network, then I enter the network key but an IP doesn't get assigned. I'm not able to connect to the network and use it.

However, as soon as I remove the inf driver and re-install it, the connection starts working.

This happens every time. I'm running an up-to-date Hardy.

Is this symptom still reproducible in 8.10 or 9.04?

Hi,
This has been resolved for a while now; not sure what resolved it (I think I haven't had this problem since 9.04).
Please close the bug report.

Cheers,
Uphaar
