Comment 14 for bug 1249765

hi Christopher,
I've tried following the wiki instructions for using ndiswrapper , from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper
 but I'm not sure if I'm loading the driver correctly. when i run
sudo depmod -a
sudo modprobe ndiswrapper
I dont seem to have the driver working. I'm not sure if the driver even loads. so I tried rebooting.

1)
With the latest driver from Acer website for my laptop, the system does not reboot into Ubuntu if the driver is loaded. i have to boot into a different kernel , remove the driver and only then can i boot ubuntu into that particular kernel.

2)
The wireless connection works without problems when I boot into windows xp. So i figured that this would be the best driver to use.
 I tried finding the driver from the windows Xp boot, but I was only able to find the .sys file and .dll, but could not find the .inf file in the windows partition.
any ideas as to where i could find the .inf file?

3)
Now the system does not load iwl3945 module every time i boot up the laptop.i manually have to run $ sudo modprobe iwl3945 each time. I tried commenting out the blacklist of the iwl3945 module & also removing the blacklist which i had to do during the ndiswrapper instructions, but that did not help.
How do I make sure that the iwl3945 module loads automatically?
