Cannot attach ndiswrapper module to Intel 4965 card

I am trying to get working reliably my Intel 4965 wifi card. I gave up with the iwl4965 driver, and now I am trying to find a good win driver to use it via ndiswrapper. But it seems I cannot even attach the ndiswrapper module to my card! I removed the iwl4965 module, and added the ndiswrapper module - I can confirm this with lsmod | grep iwl (empty output) and lsmod | grep ndis (in the output appears a line starting with "ndiswrapper"). But if I do lspci -k, in the section of the wireless controller there's "Kernel modules: iwl4965". (Also, according to iwconfig no wireless interface is created)

Re: Cannot attach ndiswrapper module to Intel 4965 card

That lspci output is telling you what module is capable of handling your device, not what module is actually handling your device. lspci will never show ndiswrapper because it is not specific to a particular device.

Did you actually find a suitable windows driver? You only said you're trying to find it. If you did find it, are you sure you installed the correct files in the correct place?

Re: Cannot attach ndiswrapper module to Intel 4965 card

Thank you. I thought that there's a problem with ndiswrapper itself, so I have to solve that problem before finding a suitable windows driver. Now I assume ndiswrapper is okay, and try to change the windows driver.
