Hi, everyone!
I have read the thread fairly thoroughly and have followed the installation instructions therein. I've tried installing ndiswrapper 1.55 from the package, and also installing 1.58 from source. I'm using the wna3100-drivers.zip package downloaded from here.
I'm running a 32-bit version of Ubuntu 10.04, and can't upgrade this particular box since its reason for existence is to run some software to drive a milling machine, which won't run on later versions.
Despite all my attempts, the interface is just not recognized by linux (does not show up in iwconfig).
Here are the diagnostic messages I've gotten most recently:
As I read this, the physical device is present, ndiswrapper has bcmwlhigh5 and sees the device - but the kernel can't load the driver because of teh unknown symbol.Code:root@Linux-CNC:/home/walts/wna3100-drivers# lsusb Bus 002 Device 004: ID 08e6:0432 Gemplus GemPC432 SmartCard Reader Bus 002 Device 003: ID 049f:000e Compaq Computer Corp.

I have tried googling for 'IoUnregisterPlugPlayNotification' but could not find any help.
I have a lot more experience with Windows than with linux and I may not be interpreting the messages correctly, but regardless, I need some help here, please.

P.S. the interface works, on this box, when booted with Windows.
