Using wifi freezes computer

#1 Post by noname989 »

Hello,

I successfully installed a Belkin PCI Wifi card using ndiswrapper. Everything works well until the system freezes. It doesnt freeze until I connect to the access point and wait about 15 seconds. Then the window manager refuses to respond and I'm forced to reboot.

Any ideas what could cause this?

Not sure if this is related, but when I used the wireless wizard it always locked up the PC.

I then used the network wizard, and that would allow me to set up the wireless connection as well as a wired connection.

Perhaps go through your wirelss setup again, but not using the wireless wizard?
