Re: [gentoo-user] Trying to use ndiswrapper caused a hell of trouble: no suspend and wl doesn't autoload
I've removed a file called "ndiswrapper" from /etc/modprobe.d, and now
wl loads automatically at boot.
KDE still, for some reason, doesn't detect that my laptop has ACPI
capabilites, although using pm-suspend works, and I can see battery
information in /sys/class/batt, etc. It seems unrelated to the driver
thingy, but the problem appear when I tried to replace drivers.

modprobe.conf is autogenerated from the contents of modprobe.d, and any
file installed in there with ndiswrapper won't have been removed when you
unmerged it. Check you haven't got a file in there setting up the
ndiswrapper aliases.

No, I haven't. I've also checked all files in /etc/modprobe.d/,
/etc/modules.d/ and /etc/{modules,modprobe}.conf to see if it isn't
blacklisted. I have checked the rc files yet, but I haven't changed
anything. Just to be sure, I grepped for "wl", and it's not
blacklisted. ndiswrapper does alias a lot of device names to itself in
modprobe.conf, although I removed it completely.

[gentoo-user] Trying to use ndiswrapper caused a hell of trouble: no suspend and wl doesn't autoload
Hi, I have problems to connect to WPA wireless networks, and it seemed like those were driver related, so I've tried running ndiswrapper. After I failed to get better (or any) performance with it, I tried to revert to the previous settings, but at first the system wouldn't even boot. I've booted with an older kernel for which I haven't build neither ndiswrapper or wl, and removed ndiswrapper completely. But ever since, wl isn't loaded automatically (it does load if I load it manually) and KDE4 fails that detect my system's ACPI capabilities, which makes suspending extremely annoying to me (mostly, because I don't remember how to suspend not using KDE). I'm not sure what other information to provide. I would appreciate any help.
