Description James Ogley 2005-08-29 10:01:29 UTC

I use ndiswrapper to support my wireless adapter.  Having set up ndiswrapper, I
then use YaST to configure the interface, but this doesn't cause the module to
be automatically loaded at boot, I had to add it to MODULES_LOADED_ON_BOOT in
/etc/sysconfig/kernel

Pretty sure this worked on 9.3 (not sure if it was added to
MODULES_LOADED_ON_BOOT or if bringing the interface up)

Comment 1 Joachim Gleissner 2005-08-29 11:52:30 UTC

ndiswrapper shall never got to MODULES_LOADED_ON_BOOT but should be loaded by   
hwup if configured in yast. If this is not the case, please  
attach /var/log/messages and the appropriate files of /etc/sysconfig/network/ 
and /etc/sysconfig/hardware/.

And if it is listed in hwcfg-* it will be loaded. Just tested (beta3).

Christian: That's the weird thing, it is listed, but it's still not loaded:

dhcp1:~ # lsmod | grep ndis
dhcp1:~ #

Comment 7 Martin Vidner 2005-08-31 11:43:09 UTC

Comment 4 shows that it is in hwcfg.

Comment 8 James Ogley 2005-08-31 20:54:54 UTC

Sorry, I don't think I'd made myself clear.  Yes, it's in hwcfg, but in spite of
this it's not loaded by hwup at boot time.

Comment 9 Christian Zoz 2005-09-06 13:00:47 UTC

Ok, in hwcfg-static ==> duplicate.

But why does YaST write ndiswarpper into a static configuration and not into the
hwcfg file of the device that needs ndiswrapper?
