ndiswrapper not added to auto loaded modules
Last modified: 2005-09-06 13:00:47 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)
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).
Created attachment 47997 [details] /var/log/messages for the last boot
Created attachment 47998 [details] /etc/sysconfig/hardware/hwcfg-static-0
Created attachment 47999 [details] /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-wlan0
Christian: That's the weird thing, it is listed, but it's still not loaded: dhcp1:~ # lsmod | grep ndis dhcp1:~ #
Comment 4 shows that it is in hwcfg.
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.
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? *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 113158 ***
