modprobe ndiswrapper causes events/0 to use 100% CPU

[CrucifiedEgo]

I just freshly installed the hardy RC on my sony VGN-NR260E. I installed the driver for my atheros AR5BXB63 wireless card in my laptop using ndiswrapper -i <infname> and then sudo modprobe ndiswrapper. when I do this, the system stops reponding for the most part. Watching top when I do this, events/0 takes up 100% of the CPU. Nothing in the logs indicates anything going on -- has anyone experienced this before? This driver worked fine on a fresh install of 7.10 a month or so ago. Thanks for any ideas you've got...

):P try ndiswrapper -im to create the module. then run modprobe -i to install the modules. This will make sure it is located in /etc. But before all this, please make sure that a linux native driver was not installed when you first enabled the wireless device. you can use lmod to list modules and search for it. If one does already exist, you will have to remove it with a modprobe -r

hope this helps
