Hello everyone,

I just ran into evil trouble when trying to use NDISulator together with 
a cheap Am1772 card. The card itself is labelled ,,NetVision 802.11b''. 
On the back is the FCC ID ,,PQP-WP288P''. The drivers supplied seem to 
be from October 2003:

-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  168518 27 Okt  2003 /cdrom/Driver/xp2k/Am772.sys*
-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  168022 27 Okt  2003

-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  5561 27 Okt  2003 
/cdrom/Driver/xp2k/NetAm772.inf*

The md5s indicate that the same card is also sold as E-Tech WLPC05 (at 
least their driver has the same)

MD5 (/cdrom/Driver/xp2k/Am772.sys) = 6caa78ba28e1003931dde6e1f122055f
MD5 (/cdrom/Driver/xp2k/Am7729x.sys) = 6caa9c534bf7df557b213d16d7635350

Maybe this card is sold under a dozen other names too...

Anyway, I tried to build ndis.ko and if_ndis.ko with the supplied SYS- 
and INF-files. When I try to load if_ndis.ko into my GENERIC Kernel, it 
locks.

Did anyone succeed in building/loading if_ndis.ko for this card? I know 
that the Am1772 driver is known to cause trouble, but there seem to be 
at least some cards with this chipsets that work.

Thanks,
Mattias
