ndiswrapper & netgear....

Atrox Moris · 21 Jan 2009 at 18:28

So I got a netgear wg311 v3 which I needed to use ndiswrapper for the drivers. Followed this tutorial and everything worked great. However, whenever I reboot, I need to give the "sudo modprobe ndiswrapper" command to kickstart the card, when it should do it automatically using the details from the /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper file. I've gone over it and over it and I'm at a loss. Any ideas?

Add the text ndiswrapper to the end of the /etc/modules file?

sudo gedit /etc/modules

If that fails (don't see why at the mo) then just go System Menu, Preferences, Sessions.
Make a new item with sudo modprobe ndiswrapper.
Or try adding it to etc/rc.local.

sudo gedit /etc/modules worked. Just restarted and it ran by itself ^____^. Thanks. I was trying all sorts of commands earlier.
