Installed ndiswrapper to use my macbooks inbuilt wi-fi (madwifi didn't seem to want to work with WPA networks) Only thing is the module isn't loading on bootup and I cannot connect to the wireless lan, also Networkmanager wants me to unlock the password store before it can try and connect. how do i set it so the ndiswrapper module loads on bootup and secondly can I set it so that NetworkManager can access the stored keys without me having to unlock the "keyring"

Code:

ndiswrapper -m

should do it. If not try

ndiswrapper -ma

For the second question try system-> administration-> keyring manager-> applications-> nm-applet and check all permissions. This might do the trick

I wrote the modprobe command into a start script in the end...
any reason to change it?
