I'm using latest Dapper AMD64. I tried to install my INPROCOM IPN 2220 wireless
card which used to work under Breezy. I get an error in dmesg concerning an
error in kernel 2.6.15..
Dmesg :

I have a PIII 1.2 Compaq Evo n600c and a Belkin (Broadcom 43xx based) pcmcia card. I get the exact same result when loading the ndiswrapper with the card inserted. Otherwise ndiswrapper loads and unloads without error.
