I have read that post and looked at ndiswrapper.sf.net, however my
system (acer 1524wlmi) cannot use my wlan correctly. With 'lspci' I
have:

0000:00:0a.0 Ethernet controller: Linksys, A Division of Cisco Systems
[AirConn] INPROCOMM IPN 2220 Wireless LAN Adapter (rev 01)

I have compiled 'ndiswrapper' with and without INPROCOMM_AMD64=1 and
used 32bit and 64bit driver for neti2220. However 'dmesg' returns:

**************************************************************************

and so I cannot load ndiswrapper 64bit driver for neti2220. I don't
know if this problem is related to debian kernel compiled or my
specific hardware configuration.

P.S.: Could be good pass to start-kernel option 'acpi=noirq'????
