modules_on_boot

Hello, I am trying to install ndiswrapper on my notebook and I need to add it to modules_on_boot. How would I do this? I didn't see anything under Control Center and I am brand new to linux.

Try to enter the module in /etc/sysconfig/kernel (you need to be root)

Code:

## Path:		System/Kernel
## Description:		Modules to load after initial boot
## Type:		string
## ServiceRestart:	boot.loadmodules
#
# This variable contains the list of modules to be loaded
# once the main filesystem is active
#
MODULES_LOADED_ON_BOOT="ndiswrapper"

From KDE, the easiest way is to enter the following in the 'Run Command...' tab of the KDE menu:

Code:

kdesu kwrite /etc/sysconfig/kernel

Or use Yast -> System -> /etc/sysconfig Editor (it does the same, but takes longer

)
