Bug Description

Whenever I attempt to use my wireless on battery power (99% of the time I want to use it ;) ) I get the following crash after a couple of minutes. Anywhere from 5-10.

Hello Kevin,

Which wireless card driver are you using that requires ndiswrapper? What version is it?

Thanks.

[17179591.488000] ndiswrapper: driver bcmwl5 (Broadcom,11/02/2005, 4.10.40.0) loaded

is the load line, I can attach the actual .inf file if needed.

Heres what lspci shows
0c:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4310 UART (rev 01)

attaching .inf file, should I include the .sys as well?

I thought I should clarify, ndiswrapper has actually been doing this since dapper with every version of the kernel module from 1.16 to the current SVN. And every kernel. It does not happen immediatly when I unplug the laptop, rather, it only crashes when the laptop is on battery power.
