Hello!

The title says it all. When I load the ndiswrapper module the wlan0 interface is started, but I do not want this! Is there a way to load the module and not start the interface? I run through all the module options and the configfiles but can't find anything...

Thanks.

Code:
# rm /etc/init.d/net.wlan0

You can easily recreate the symlink when you do want to start the interface.

Another approach would be to not load the module until you actually want to use it.



... ok, if you really want to edit a config file, then take a look at /etc/conf.d/rc (baselayout-1) or /etc/rc.conf (baselayout-2) :wink:

Hey thanks, why did I not think of the symlink idea! I'll try how ndiswrapper reacts on that.
