[Bug 85526] Re: no interfaces available if ndiswrapper module is not loaded
I do not see this behaviour on my MacBook, with Feisty. The wired connection works and network-manager manages it even if the ndiswrapper is not loaded, is not available, or is blacklisted.

Well this behaviour is quite normal, what's wrong with it ? The device itself does not exist if the ndiswrapper module is not loaded. Loading modules is not the job of the network-manager, in my opinion. Users should do that themselves. There are many ways of loading the module during boot, one is done by using the ndiswrapper utility itself : sudo ndiswrapper -m or you can add ndiswrapper to your /etc/modules file. I recommend the first option. -- no interfaces available if ndiswrapper module is not loaded https://launchpad.net/bugs/85526 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

My point was not only does that prevent the wireless from being used, but also NO other device works. Hence if someone has a problem with ndiswrapper, they can't use any other network interface to connect to the net to look for help. -- no interfaces available if ndiswrapper module is not loaded https://launchpad.net/bugs/85526 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
