Ndiswrapper problems with kernels 2.6.23-6.fc8-i686

[Arch Willingham]

Update:

I noticed that when I plugged/unplugged the card, I got this message:

"Oct 14 09:45:52 localhost kernel: ndiswrapper: version magic '2.6.23-5.fc8 SMP mod_unload 686 4KSTACKS ' should be '2.6.23-6.fc8 SMP mod_unload 686 4KSTACKS '"

For the heck of it, I re-wrote my script to completely whack out ndiswrapper and then completely add it back. I changed it to do this:

#!/bin/bash
#######

ndiswrapper -e lsbcmnds/bcmwl5.sys
ndiswrapper -e lsbcmnds
rmmod ndiswrapper
rm -f -r /etc/ndiswrapper

cd /downloads/ndiswrapper-1.49rc3
make distclean
make
make install

cd /downloads/ndiswrapper_drivers/WPC54GS_Driver_Utility
ndiswrapper -i lsbcmnds.inf

depmod -a
modprobe ndiswrapper

# The stuff below is not necessary...I just like to see what its doing at the end

echo "ndiswrapper -l"
ndiswrapper -l
echo "ndiswrapper -m"
ndiswrapper -m
echo "ndiswrapper -ma"
ndiswrapper -ma
echo "ndiswrapper -mi"
ndiswrapper -mi
echo "ndiswrapper -v"
ndiswrapper -v
echo "iwlist wlan0 scan"
iwlist wlan0 scan

################ end  ################


Once I did that, it fired right up!

I have a small script file I run each time the kernel gets updated. The script re-compiles ndiswrapper (versaion 1.49rc3) and then runs a series of commands. At one point, it runs "modprobe ndiswrapper". The output from it from the new kernel is:

FATAL: Error inserting ndiswrapper (/lib/modules/2.6.23-6.fc8/misc/ndiswrapper.ko): Invalid module format

It worked fine with kernel 2.6.23-5.fc8-i686 (which is how I am sending this e-mail).

Any ideas?
