terrencethecat Posted July 6, 2004 Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 I am a complete Linux noob ( I have had it installed for about 1 week now), after reading about 20 different forums I have managed to get my Linksys WMP54G wireless PCI card working using ndiswrapper with my Mandrake 10 distro. I would now like to get the drivers to load on boot, could someone please tell me which file I need to place the driverloader command so that it is executed on boot. Cheers in advance Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
streeter Posted July 6, 2004 Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 Several ways, but I like putting commands at the end of /etc/rc.d/rc.local - this script gets executed after all the other links in (if you are booting to a graphical desktop) rc.5. Probably the easiest way. You could also put the commands in a separate script in the /etc/rc.d/init.d folder if you like, then make a symlink to it from /etc/rc.d/rc.5. Or you could start it later, when KDE loads Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
