Description luca pedrielli 2011-08-05 09:12:02 CEST 
Description of problem:
in my old notebook i have an airo wlan card.
this card doesn't support wpa, so i use ndiswrapper and it works fine.

every kernel update resets my wlan0 driver in /etc/modprobe.conf and breaks wlan.

Before: alias wlan0 ndiswrapper
After update: alias wlan0 airo

Luca.

Comment 1 Thomas Backlund 2011-08-05 11:51:11 CEST 
Add your configuration to a new file in /etc/modprobe.d/

for example /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper-wlan.conf

With the contents:

blacklist airo
alias wlan0 ndiswrapper

And drakx* tools wont change it anymore

thank you for the tip.

maybe this could be automated when the choise is ndiswrapper.

@ Thierry

Is this possible, or do you want to close this bug as "worksforme"?

That's likely a bug in service_harddrake or harddrake::autoconf.

Do you have some relevant logs about this in /var/log/explanations after a kernel upgrade?
