ndiswrapper + macbook pro + latest NetworkManager = problem

For the past 2 weeks or so, I've started experiencing a lot of freezes on my Macbook Pro while running Fedora 9. After some investigation, I've found out there is some sort of bug on NetworkManager that makes the CPU lock up when using ndiswrapper.

The workaround (for now) was to disable NetworkManager:

chkconfig NetworkManager off
service NetworkManager stop

And, use system-config-network to set up my wireless (well, at least if you want it done via GUI).

I've just filed a bug with Fedora's Bugzilla about it.

PS - This is an update to my Fedora on Macbook Pro post.
