[SOLVED] Modprobe Every Time

[Lee2010]

So my laptop is working fine all the hardware is configured and runs nicely. But for some reason I have to modprobe ndiswrapper at every boot. After I do that my computer finds the wifi and connects. Is there a way to modprobe at boot so I don't have to?

Make an entry in either /etc/modprobe.conf or /etc/modprobe.preload or both.

What exactly do I need to add?

I tried putting # modprobe ndiswrapper

In /etc/modprobe.preload just add the word ndiswrapper on a new line, by itself, and press the Enter key to start another new line after that entry, before saving the file. You need root permissions to edit system files. Reboot to see if that is enough to take care of the problem.

Post your results.

Thanks O-P

I just didn't know how to add it

Here is my /etc/modprobe.preload now

# /etc/modprobe.preload: kernel modules to load at boot time.
#
# This file should contain the names of kernel modules that are
# to be loaded at boot time, one per line.  Comments begin with
# a `#', and everything on the line after them are ignored.
# this file is for module-init-tools (kernel 2.5 and above) ONLY
# for old kernel use /etc/modules
