    Hi,

    I'm trying to use ndiswrapper to use a Belkin F5D7010 wireless card.
    All goes smoothly until I do:
    # modprobe ndiswrapper

    At this point, the install instructions say the light on the card
    should come on - it doesn't, so:

    # dmesg | grep ndiswrapper
    ndiswrapper version 1.0rc2 loaded (preempt=yes,smp=no)
    ndiswrapper: driver bcmwl5 (Broadcom,07/17/2003, 3.30.15.0) added
    ndiswrapper: request for irq 0 failed
    ndiswrapper (ndis_init_one_pci:95): Windows driver couldn't initialize
    the device (C000009A)

    The driver appears to be the correct one, according to the information
    from ndiswrapper's wiki.

    I'm using Ubuntu 4.10, with kernel 2.6.10-2-686, which is odd because
    this is the Ubuntu 5.04 kernel...

    I suspect that the system's been updated from 4.10 and the About page
    hasn't.

    Any ideas about ndiswrapper?

    TIA,
