Kernel Update, Ndiswrapper, Keyboard Not Working!

Hi there,

Dell Inspiron 8600 laptop,
Suse 9.1 Pro.

Whenever i update the kernel to 2.6.5 via Yast (which goes fine), then i install Ndiswrapper 0.11 which also goes fine. I can get my wireless card working ok.

The only problem is that when i boot, the keyboard is completely non functional, the mouse works fine but keyboard is dead.

How would i start troubleshooting this?

some progress...

ive plugged in an external usb keyboard, and that works fine. I just dont know what to do now i can get into the system to get the keyboard working. Ive run sax and yast but that doesnt help.

I'd mail the ndiswrapper mailing list on this one. They got most of the problems with locking keyboards fixed in the 0.10 release, but obviously not all. Make sure you give them your kernel version, the ndiswrapper version, and the wireless card/chipset you're using.
