    I've stripped out all kernel packages except SMP. When I compile, I get
    a working ndiswrapper now. But as soon as I type

        iwconfig wlan0 essid mynetworkid

    a huge stack trace happens and the system locks up, requiring a power cycle.

    Do you think this is a 4K stack vs. 16K stack issue?
