[Bug 493287] [NEW] ndiswrapper interferes with mass storage mount

[mich.peeters]

Public bug reported:

when plugging a USB mass storage device (Creative muvo V100), the ndiswrapper is 9 times out of 10 wrongfully associated to it:
$ lsusb
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 041e:200c Creative Technology, Ltd 
 
$sudo lshal
...
udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_41e_200c_4002FA76125D8F8A_if0'
info.linux.driver = 'ndiswrapper'
(string) info.parent = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_41e_200c_4002FA76125D8F8A'
(string) info.product = 'USB Mass Storage Interface'
(string) info.subsystem = 'usb' (string) ...

Workaround: 
I have to remove the ndiswrapper module on each linux kernel upgrade:

$ sudo rmmod ndiswrapper

$ sudo rm /lib/modules/$(uname
-r)/kernel/ubuntu/ndiswrapper/ndiswrapper.ko

--> now the mass storage drivers gets correctly mounted on each attempt

I'm not sure why the ndiswrapper module is installed. I have RTL8187B
usb wifi, but this device has a native linux driver available.
