 |
|
I am using the ndiswrapper to make my built in mini-wifi card work. And I then have the wireless extensions being brought up by the ebuild prepared by UberLord. I only want to bring up the wifi manually after kde is loaded when I need it. But even though I have taken ndiswrapper out of /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 and deleted wlan0 from the default runlevel, it is still getting loaded. I can't figure out how, or why. Any pointers would be great. This is, I think, the first time since using Gentoo that I have done exactly what I am supposed to do (what the manuals say) and even though I am not getting any error messages. It things just aren't working like they should.

I guess you are using hotplug? Try | Code: | | echo ndiswrapper >> /etc/hotplug/blacklist |

Sorry I forgot to mention that I checked to make sure that hotplug was not loading, and it is not in any of my runlevels either. That was the only thing I could think might have been it, and it doesn't seem to be.

Have you checked if it's loaded as a dependancy of some other initscript?

No, I would like to though. How do I do that, it would be good for future reference as well.

so when I type that into the term there is no readout, just returns another prompt.
I noticed however that if I try to stop wlan0 with | Code: | | /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 stop |
it tells me that wlan0 has not been started. So it seems that ndiswrapper is what is bringing up that interface somehow. What doesn't make any sense though is that ndiswrapper is not auto loading and I am not using hotplug as I mentioned. I do not know what is bringing up the interface or loading the ndiswrapper module.  any ideas
