Load Module on Startup
I'm using Slackware 12.0 and recently got ndiswrapper properly configured for my laptop's wireless. The only part I have left is getting the ndiswrapper module to automatically load on startup.
From other posts I've sifted through, I get the impression that this used to be done by editing /etc/modprobe.conf. However, it seems that has been deprecated and modules are now loaded by creating files inside /etc/modprobe.d/ I have a file named "ndiswrapper" inside /etc/modprobe.d This file only contains one line, which reads "alias wlan0 ndiswrapper" The ndiswrapper module does not load on startup. Do I need to add a modprobe command to this file or something? Also, there are many more modules loaded than there are files inside of /etc/modprobe.d. Where are the other modules being loaded from? Is there another way I should be going about loading this module? Any help is greatly appreciated. |
/etc/rc.d/rc.modules. Add lines like "/sbin/modprobe module_name".

you could also add that line to /etc/rc.d/rc.local if you would rather leave rc.modules alone
I can't remember exactly, but there may just be a line in rc.modules that you can uncomment. It should look something like: #/sbin/modprobe ndiswrapper so change it to: /sbin/modprobe ndiswrapper good luck |
