Networking :: Dynex DX-WGNBC WiFi Cardbus PCMCIA - How To

Thanks Sheldon, that worked perfectly.

Hats, Curaga... thank you! I'm trimming down the 20 second sleep I put in there to find best value. The network initializes properly now.

I put the sleep 20 statement right after the modprobe ndiswrapper.

taint = using non-free (binary-only) modules

Actually, there are seven taint flags:

P: A module with a Proprietary license has been loaded, i.e. a module that is not licensed under the GNU General Public License (GPL) or a compatible license. This may indicate that source code for this module is not available to the Linux kernel developers or to Novell's developers.

G: The opposite of 'P': the kernel has been tainted (for a reason indicated by a different flag), but all modules loaded into it were licensed under the GPL or a license compatible with the GPL.

F: A module was loaded using the Force option "-f" of insmod or modprobe, which caused a sanity check of the versioning information from the module (if present) to be skipped.

R: A module which was in use or was not designed to be removed has been forcefully Removed from the running kernelusing the force option "-f" of rmmod.

S: The Linux kernel is running with Symmetric MultiProcessor support (SMP), but the CPUs in the system are not designed or certified for SMP use.

M: A Machine Check Exception (MCE) has been raised while the kernel was running. MCEs are triggered by the hardware to indicate a hardware related problem, for example the CPU's temperature exceeding a treshold or a memory bank signaling an uncorrectable error.

B: A process has been found in a Bad page state, indicating a corruption of the virtual memory subsystem, possibly caused by malfunctioning RAM or cache memory.

Proprietary binaries are only one of them.

He was asking for these modules - and it was because they were proprietary.
