    ndiswrapper module does not load on boot

    Hi
    My Belkin F7d4101 v1 wifi dongle [broadcom BCM 4323] does not work out of the box on xubuntu 12.04 neither on my current version 14.04. I therefore downloaded and installed ndiswrapper 1.59 from the sourceforge as per the included instructions. The connection is working. However, it does not load on boot so I have to run
    Code:
    sudo modprobe ndiswrapper
    . I have added ndiswrapper to /etc/modules

    Any suggestions ?

    Thanks

    JP

    Did you run
    Code:
    sudo ndiswrapper -ma

    Thumbs up Re: ndiswrapper module does not load on boot

    solved - thanks

    indeed I had only done

    Code:
     sudo ndiswrapper -m
    ommitting the a
    Code:
     -ma
    now it works

    However when I look in /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper.conf this file has 3 lines

    Code:
    alias usb:v050Dp6050d*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip* ndiswrapper
    alias usb:v050Dp615Ad*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip* ndiswrapper
    alias usb:v050Dp825Cd*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip* ndiswrapper

    with only the middle one referring to my USB dongle as established with

    Code:
     sudo ndiswrapper -l
    
    bcmwlhigh5 : driver installed
        device (050D:615A) present

    Can I safely delete those two other lines?

    It doesn’t matter, these lines refer to other devices
