Description Beau Steward 2005-09-02 17:19:55 UTC

Using Suse 10.0 Beta 3 on HP Pavilion ZE2000z. Mainboard is ati radeon xpress 
200m and cpu is amd turion 64 ml-30. 
 
When attempting to use ndiswrapper for my broadcom 4318 wireless adapter using 
the driver and inf provided by hp, after loading the ndiswrapper kernel 
module, the system will lock up after some time. The driver in question is for 
use with Windows XP 32 bit edition, as I have yet to be able to find a 64 bit 
driver. I have to completely remove power or press and hold the power button 
until powered off in order to regain control of system.

This is not resolved in beta 4.

You cannot use an 32bit driver in an 64bit environment. Either run a 32bit 
linux with your driver, or try to find a 64bit XP driver for your card.
