Ndiswrapper in boot sequence?
 
How would I get ndiswrapper to begin in the boot sequence? I've got it set up to automatically connect but this boot sequence thing is there (I know it is, and probably right under my nose)... and I want to find it.

Anyway, thanks so much! :D

As I recall (I'm not in front of my workstation at the moment), you need to make an entry in the rc.modules file. ndiswrapper isn't there by default, but you should be able to get close by looking at the rest of the network lines. You'll also need to set your wireless configuration in one of the other rc files, the names for both of these may not be exactly what you need, but they should be pretty obvious if you look.

All files are in /etc/rc.d

Hope this helps,

I added this line to my /etc/rc.d/rc.local file and works like a charm

Code:

/sbin/modprobe ndiswrapper &
the & sign at the end of the line is for running the command as a background process.

check the file rc.local to be runnable. If it isn't type

Code:

chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.local

Raska, you're very good at providing succinct, clear explanations. I'm not the OP, but thanks.

you are welcome. I don't know if that is either good or bad but I always try to help somehow, as this forum has helped me a lot ;)

Hi,

I had a minute and checked my system at home during lunch. This was the reference material that I used regard rc.modules and configuring DHCP for my wireless card:

Modifying rc.local should work, too. Handy trick, that.

Kind regards,
