    modprobe ndiswrapper at every reboot

    Hi,

    I'm a beginner user and I've just installed Ubuntu 10.04 on an old PC to make it usable.

    After some research I was able to get my netgear usb wireless network adapter WG121 to work and connect to the network using ndiswrapper, although at startup I have to open a terminal and type
    Code:
    sudo modprobe ndiswrapper
    before it works.

    Is there a way to get this to automatically run?

    Thanks

    if you have a file "/etc/modules" you are in luck:
    add 'ndiswrapper' to that file

    I found the modules file
    and added ndiswrapper to the end
    and it works! thanks!

    can you help me with another problem?
    To connect to my wireless network, i have to "connect to a hidden wireless network"
    how can i get it to automatically log in to this network on startup?

    also, i just had an "error: out of disk" and had to delete /boot/grub/grubenv via live CD for it to boot. will it happen again?
