adding a module to startup automatically


Hi people,

I have Fedora Core 4 installed on a desktop and have installed a WLAN card. I use ndiswrapper to supply the driver and everything works fine. However, I want have the ndiswrapper module start automatically. The instructions say add a line to /etc/modules.conf but my Fedora Core 4 doesn't have this file.

What can I do to start the module when the system boots?

Many thanks,

Mike
