Comment 14 for bug 590090

Same problem with me.
Once I switch from 10.04 to 10.10 alfa edition. I ndiswrapper started not
working. But I can find the my WLAN driver in the hardware drivers list.
That was working once I activate from the hardware list. But after every
restart It was showing 'driver is installed but not currently used'. If I
deactivate and again activate that works.
Once I updated to 10.10 beta version ndiswrapper is getting crashed. I
updated with the new version of ndiswrapper still the same problem
occurs. ndiswrapper
files cannot installed be package manager, only way I installed the
ndiswrapper by opening with the ubuntu software center. Still sucks.

Even I found python and power manager is getting crashed.
