[driverloader] Re: [LinuxR3000] Broadcom 54g + FC3 + 1.5 G = 100% CPU usage?

[Larry Sanderson]

Finally, someone else with the same problem I've been having!  I could not 
figure out why everyone else was getting this to work, but no matter what I 
tried, the wireless drivers spun at 100% cpu (both ndiswrapper and 
driverloader).

I tried with different BIOS's, different distros, different kernel options, 
all with the same results.  The one thing I never tried: reduce the RAM from 
my 2GB configuration to something else.  I removed 1GB, and now ndiswrapper 
works perfectly.  

Thank you for this pointer - I will send a bug to the ndiswrapper folks, and 
hopefully a fix will not take too much work.
