Need to autoload wlan driver at boot. how?

Eleavings · 03-26-2004, 10:04 PM

Basic question. How do I get a particular driverto load on boot?

Specific situation: Using Dell Inspiron 8500 with Truemobile 1300 (broadcom 2306) wireless card.

Using Linuxant's driverloader to use ndis driver.

Driver will not load on boot. I can manually start it by using dlrdconfig --auto command but I'd like driver to load on boot. What config file do i change (or whatever) to do this?

Thanks for the help....

Without knowing what distro you are using and attempting this on its going to be hard to tell you exact directions.

On my Gentoo install, I would put the driver I want loaded in my modprobe.conf (kernel 2.6.4) file in /etc.

In Arch Linux, I would put the driver name in my /etc/rc.conf file under the MODULES header.

Oops! Yes of course.

Using Fedora Core 1 with most recent kernel updates.

The chip set is Broadcom 4306 not 2306 (typo).

Thanks
