Problem emerging ndiswrapper with 3.2.1-rev2

[jaminh]

I am trying to install ndiswrapper after upgrading my kernel and I am getting an error. I need ndiswrapper for my Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88w8335 [Libertas] 802.11b/g Wireless (rev 03) wireless card. Here is my build log.

[StevePER]

I have the same problem.

[Gusar]

I need ndiswrapper for my Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88w8335 [Libertas] 802.11b/g Wireless (rev 03) wireless card.

Just checking... Did you try the kernel mwl8k driver? Otherwise, ndiswrapper-1.57 is out, while you're trying to install 1.56. I just checked, 1.57 is in ~arch.

But try the mwl8k driver first, I'm curious. It's in the kernel as "Marvell 88W8xxx PCI/PCIe Wireless support" (CONFIG_MWL8K=m). You'll also need to install the linux-firmware package. If it doesn't work, use pastebin to provide the full output of dmesg.

Edit: Been doing some research, the 8335 is not supported by mwl8k, three other chipsets are. There used to be a mrv8k driver for this thing, but it seems it was never completed. So ndiswrapper-1.57 it is.

[raungst]

Has anyone resolved this? I've tried 1.57 and get the same general error. I've also tried it against kernel 3.3.0 with the same results. I'm open to going back in time in kernel version if there's a combination that works. The computer this is happening on is ancient.

[Muzer]

I am having the same issue on 3.2.12 and ndiswrapper-1.56.

[holm74]

Hi there,

have the same problem with Kernel 3.3.5

Just to mention:

ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge net-wireless/ndiswrapper -1

went through. Hope I will get that stick to work
