    ndiswrapper settings wont stick

    i just did a clean install gutsy on an old laptop. im using a lynksis WMP54Gv4 wireless pcmcia adapter and ndiswrapper 1.9, which i pulled from the cd with adept. now i followed some instructions to get it to work with my network and it works. my commands looked something like this:

    sudo ndiswrapper -i /home/lordnothing/WMP54Gv4/WLIPNDS.INF
    sudo ndiswrapper -m
    sudo modprobe ndiswrapper

    and all that worked. KNetwork Manager let me connect to my network with full on wpa encryption. but it seems that when i reboot, i have to do another "sudo modprobe ndiswrapper" and re-enter my network info in KNetwork Manager. now how do i make the settings stick so that when i reboot i can go right to the net without further tweaking?

    Have KDE wallet open the next time you enter your network info. It is remembering my wep connections.

    You can try to add "ndiswrapper" to /etc/modules file to load the driver at boot. I was having some trouble with a gutsy beta and this modification not letting me boot. I could just pull out the card and it would boot normally so I could restore the original file. Haven't tried again since the release. Just FYI
