need help running a script to make ndiswrapper start...

[muzicman0]

The wl driver is too unstable for me, but when trying to use ndiswrapper, it doesn't work unless I do:

modprobe -r b43 b44 b43legacy ssb

and then

modprobe ndiswrapper

How can I make that run on start up? I think the ssb module is conflicting with ndiswrapper. I can start b44 and ssb after successfully starting ndiswrapper...

I am trying to drop this into modprobe.d directory, but really don't know what I'm doing, and it doesn't work. Also, putting it in the autostart in my home folder won't work either, because it requires root privileges...

Thanks for any help!

muzicman0,

I am no guru by any means (as you will note with my meagre number of posts!!). Please do check and google for other info on this before you try it - I give no warranty whatsoever... blah blah blah, "you break it, you fix it", "you break it, you get to keep both halves" etc etc etc. I can't emphasise enough how small my Linux knowledge is. And I'm not able to access my PC at the moment to bouble-check for you before offering this advice...

However, I seem to remember that there is an /etc/modules file.

Putting in the names of the module (not with the .ko on the end) into this list, will execute/insert all these modules upon startup. This might help solve your problem.

You can

sudo nano -w /etc/modules

or you can echo the details into the file - can't remember the syntax for the echo command, you'd have to google for it.

Good luck.
