ndiswrapper 1.5
Hello I been using Arch for about 2 months now, and I love it. I think is the only linux distribution that I been excited about.
BUT, I have a problem... remember those October 1 updates, well they make my ndiswrapper stop working in my laptop, my laptop completly stop working as I did a
modprobe ndiswrapper
well i follow what I found here and in other forums, uninstall ndiswrapper and install new version. So, I follow the uninstall procedures from the ndiswrapper page with no luck.
So i need help uninstalling the whole thing (ndiswrapper version 1.4 something) and installing the 1.5 to see if i can fix my problem
Thank you for your time

Re: ndiswrapper 1.5
For what it's worth, ndiswrapper 1.4 and 1.5 do not work for me (wifi card powers on, but I can't connect to my AP). I've reverted back to ndiswrapper 1.2, which works fine.
If you installed ndiswrapper through pacman, just pacman -R it. If you manually compiled the source code, do a "make uninstall" in the source code dir.

The package is in the [community] repo. If you don't have this available, edit /etc/pacman.conf and uncomment the community lines near the bottom.
After that, run "pacman -Sy" to refresh your repo db and then run "pacman -Ss ndiswrapper" to search for the ndiswrapper packages (the -bin package is a dependancy of the others, so I can provide multiple modules, when I get a chance)
