BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at b18e4928 (IPN2220 Wireless & ndiswrapper)

[Ric Flomag]

Kernel oops on installing the ipn2220 wifi windows driver with ndisgtk, and after each boot and login. Then, the wireless networks are detected but network manager fails to connect (timeout).

This is a potential regression as everything works ok with lucid.

Same issue for me with ndisgtk and tnet1130 driver. Have just upgraded from 10.04 to 10.10 beta. Using ndiswrapper worked under 10.04 (although not flawlessly) but am not getting any WiFi connection now (network manager can see the wireless networks but never connects) and I get this crash report on every restart.
