Fabio,

No I am not but that is because I gave up on trying to resolve it a couple 
of months back.

1 - I use version 11 Ubuntu at this time.
2 - my resolution to the issue at the time was to trash the Netgear wireless 
card and replace it with a Linksys card.  Someone in a forum commented that 
that was a wimpy solution on my part.  It might have been but then, the 
Linksys card worked out of the box and without needing NDIS.

I never did figure out why ndis kept crashing things.

Hope that helps.

Best regards,
jwferk

Title:
  See question; #122091; WNDA3100v2 still fails; ndiswrapper crashes
  system

Status in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-nettool

  With reference to question 122091; first, I thank the responder for
  the advice and effort to that question.

  This is an effort to get a Netgear USB WNDAv2 wireless to work with
  Ubuntu 10.

  1 - installed wine to extract the driver file from Netgear.
  2 - downloaded WNDA3100v2 Software versions 1.7, 1.6, 1.2, 1.1 and 1.0.  I 
did this because wine would not extract 1.1 through 1.7.  I finally settled 
on 1.0 which ran through the setup.exe routine in wine.
  3 - copied the WinXP2000 file with the following files to /usr/local

   -rwxrwxr-x 1 ferk ferk   7427 2009-06-08 11:52 bcmh43xx64.cat
  -rwxrwxr-x 1 ferk ferk   7450 2009-06-08 11:52 bcmh43xx.cat
  -rwxrwxr-x 1 ferk ferk 747008 2009-05-05 12:00 bcmwlhigh564.sys
  -rwxrwxr-x 1 ferk ferk 167298 2009-05-15 11:58 bcmwlhigh5.inf
  -rwxrwxr-x 1 ferk ferk 632576 2009-05-05 12:00 bcmwlhigh5.sys

  4 - installed the latest version of ndiswrapper from sourceforge.

  5 - ran ndiswrapper -i bcmwlhigh5.inf

  6 - command ndiswrapper -l indicated both the device and the driver were 
present
  7 - loading the ndiswrapper did not solve the connection problem; the 
wireless usb connection does not yet work. There is no output for wlan0 with 
the iwconfig command. This shows no wireless device to be present.

  8 - blacklisted the following in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf to
  avoid any driver conflicts:

  #conflict with ndsiwrapper
  #(see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper)
  blacklist bcm43xx
  blacklist b43
  blacklist b43legacy
  blacklist ssb

  NOW, an additional problem has popped-up. - Not only does the WNDA3100
  still not work but I need to blacklist ndiswrapper at startup.  Reason
  is that if the ndiswrapper module is loaded at boot, the main login
  screen no longer opens  and I cannot login to the system.  I need to
  boot into failsafe at the root level and blacklist ndiswrapper, then
  reboot the system.

  If the ndiswrapper module is loaded at boot, I cannot even use the GUI
  failsafe mode as no login screen appears.

  I have reinstalled the OS three times today.  I can confirm absolutely
  that the system is completely current and that blacklisting
  ndiswrapper prior to booting is the core of the problem.  It does not
  make any difference if I install ndiswrapper from Synaptic or from
  Sourceforge.
