Since upgrade to kernel 2.6.23 ndiswrapper gets the following error most of the time, but not always, on boot:

ndiswrapper (load_wrap_driver:118): couldn't load driver bcmrndis; check system log for messages from 'loadndisdriver'
usb 4-4: bad CDC descriptorsAs advised, I checked for loadndisdriver messages:
Process loadndisdriver (pid: 3078, ti=df6e2000 task=df7b3540 task.ti=df6e2000)That means nothing to me.
If I use the fallback image ndiswrapper loads on bootup, but with the current kernel I can only get it working after bootup by doing an rmmod ndiswrapper followed by a modprobe and network restart.
Obviously I'd prefer for it to load on boot.
I have everything configured correctly. ndiswrapper is in the modules section of rc.conf and I have an alias directive for wlan0 in /etc/modprobe.conf.
I have tried pacman -Rd ndiswrapper followed by a reinstall, and I have made sure ndiswrapper is setup right with ndiswrapper -l :
[bcmrndis : driver installed
device (050D:7051) presentDon't know if it helps but my wireless is Belkin F5D7051 USB . This particular dongle requires a udev rule:
/etc/udev/rules.d/99-custom-rules:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idProduct}=="7051", ATTR{idVendor}=="050d", ATTR{bConfigurationValue}="1"I'm probably missing something, but I'd like to know what?

could it be that it is now supported by a in kernle driver?

I've been having the exact same problem. However, I'm using an DLink 520+ Airplus card with it's respective Windows XP driver, but the kernel panic is the same. The card, kernel 2.6.22 and ndiswrapper 1.48 worked beautifully, until my system was upgraded to kernel 2.6.23.
Anyways, I have not tried using the 1.49 ndiswrapper, because I can't connect to the net long enough to get the new package.

Dillweed: I tried ndiswrapper 1.49-1 but it still gets the error. However, it appears that in my case the built-in Broadcomm lan card on my motherboard Asus A7V8X is causing the conflict, which is interesting because I know my usb dongle has a Broadcomm chipset too.
Following tpowa's hints I used trial and error and eventually realised it was the b44 module. I put !b44 in the modules line of /etc/rc.conf to disable it. It could still be down to fluke so I'll report back, but it's looking good. I realise disabling a lan card isn't the perfect solution for everyone, but since I connect through wireless I'm ok with the workaround for now. Thanks once again for the suggestions. Where should I report this conflict? Kernel bugtracker doesn't list Arch. Is this Arch specific?
