Re: ndiswrapper and kernel stack size

In my experience.. the hang is because the ndiswrapper module belongs to 
a different version of ndiswrapper than the version of the ndiswrapper 
package installed.  The kernel module was in need of updating last time 
I checked.  (manal build of ndiswrapper + install allows it to work).
