Re: [Morphix-devel] basemodule and ndiswrapper

[Paras p. <pra...@gm...>]

Hi Paul,

Thanks for your reply.

I have few questions.

Do i add ndiswrapper into the basmod or build myself a basemod using
isomorph?


I edited the basemod xml for 2.6.17-morphix and added

<packagereq>ndiswrapper-utils</packagereq>

I can see ndiswrapper binary when running basemod alone , but when i added
my mainmod i don;t see it.

I am bit confused on this..


So if possible,

please tell me how do i make use of ndiswrapper to run in live CD with
mainmod.

just need few basic tips.


Thanks in advance
Paras.
