ndiswrapper and d-link pcmcia card

[Karol Pluciennik]

Hey!

Recently I compiled new kernel 2.6.6 (with 8k stack) to check whether 
I'll be able to run my WiFi card using ndiswrapper and Windows drivers.

At the beginning everything seems to be working - ndiswrapper compiled 
succesfully, driver installed without any problems and modprobe worked 
perfectly.

One of my problems is that my system hangs from time to time for about 
1-2 seconds (mouse stops, everything hangs). I had the same with my LAN 
card and managed to solve it ... but I don't remember what was the reason.

Another thing - when I specify some essid to connect to, it seems like 
it doesn't connect :( I can ping only my IP address, no others. ifconfig 
configuration looks fine, and iwconfig displays that I'm connected to 
some Ad-Hoc network.

I have some debug messages, maybe this will help:

and something like this:

Jul  2 01:25:46 troloo kernel: wlan0 (NdisMStartBufferPhysicalMapping): 
map register already used (16)
Jul  2 01:25:47 troloo kernel: wlan0 (NdisMStartBufferPhysicalMapping):

map register already used (19)
Jul  2 01:25:52 troloo kernel: wlan0 (NdisMStartBufferPhysicalMapping): 
map register already used (20)


I have no idea how to interpret this :(

My system configuration: Fedora Core 2, 2.6.6 (8k) kernel, Wireless 
Card: D-Link DWL-610.
