[Bug 89896] Re: [herd-5] no wlan0 device after loading ndiswrapper

[Garo Yeriazarian]

Ok, one more update.  I found something on the ndiswrapper mailing list archives:
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=1163487957.19940.9.camel%40bds.jh1.ucs-software.co.za

Apparently, the way the hardware is, it requires a power off to reset
the firmware.  If you leave it in an reboot, it will not properly come
back up.  So, the workaround is to do a shut down if you want to leave
the dongle in the computer.  If not, you have to remove the dongle and
put it back in when you reboot.  I don't think it works properly if you
leave it in while it is booting up, you need to:

sudo modprobe -r ndiswrapper
sudo modprobe ndiswrapper

to reset it.
