I have an old compaq that happily runs fedora core, and wlan over dwl-510 card, however things are unhappy when I try to start ndiswrapper in DSL, I get the following error in dmesgndiswrapper (NdisMAllocateSharedMemeory:997) Failed to allocate DMA coherent memory...
I am booting dsl toram
The box only has 128MB, I have little exp of using ramdisk and loopback mounts, I note that the ramdisk is 45MB and the /KNOPPIX is 119MB - is the likely cause of my problem ?
