ndiswrapper not loading on boot

[Drakonas]

This thread is in reference to this thread.

I am wanting my wireless Trendnet card, which does work with ndiswrapper, to load on boot.

The problem: it doesn't.

I have tried "sudo ndiswrapper -ma", and it just says, "module configuration information is stored in /etc/modules.conf", and doesn't generate the /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper file with the alias information.

I tried -mi as well, to no avail.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks,
Drakonas

Actually, I just noticed the single -m option. I'm a try that now and reboot.

There is a bug in ndiswrapper with kernel 3.0 and above it assumes you have a 2.X kernel thus the old file location. Simply move the file to the proper location and filename.

su -
mv /etc/modules.conf /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper.conf

*Doh. I thought it needed the /etc/modules.conf. I didn't think to move it into the modprobe.d module config directory. Thanks, I'll try that when I get home.
