Does anyone have any idea why the un-patched kernel from kernel.org works fine with ndiswrapper but both the FC6 and CentOS (RHEL) kernels lock up or spontaneously reboot? I built the 2.6.21 kernel by copying the config file for 2.6.18-8.1.1 from /boot and doing a "make oldconfig". Everything is x86_64.

See Item #2.
Summary:
Red Hat/Fedora uses a 4k stack size. Doesn't work well with ndiswrapper, or rather with the drivers you are trying to use with ndiswrapper.
