Using ndiswrapper to install drivers for Netgear WNDA3100v2 usb wireless network dongle.
After running:
modprobe ndiswrapperthere is a kernel oops. In dmesg it states the usb interface does not support power management and its unable to handle a kernel null pointer dereference:
ndiswrapper (mp_set_power_state:368): enp0s26u1u6 does not support power management; halting the device
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000017I'm assuming this has something to do with the power management setting, everything that I have seen about disabling power saving for the device is through iwconfig. My problem is that this usb device does not show up in iwconfig until I run modprobe, so it's a bit of a catch-22 since I cannot disable the power saving option until I have loaded the kernel module, but that is where the power saving mode is preventing the module from being loaded.
Here is the full dmesg dump directly after the modprobe call:
