I have no idea why it would do that, but how are you using ndiswrapper?
If you arn't already, try using it from command line.
Code:su ndiswrapper -i "/mnt/......" (directory of INF file) ndiswrapper -m modprobe ndiswrapper
I am using ndiswrapper to get my wireless card working and everything goes well until it copies the .inf, .sys and other files it creates to the ndiswrapper folder in /etc/ndiswrapper, it says it doesn't have enough room (ran out of space). I thought this was oddd, how do I get around this problem?
