Hi there,

I've been working on an Ndiswrapper frontend that will include all its functions, from adding and removing drivers, to managing the interface alias and kernel module.

I'm rewriting most of it and want to add good alias management (remove add aliases from the interface).

I had previously asked about the device listing that ndiswrapper does, at the old forum:

http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1102

So, since each driver can be associated with more than one device and because more than one valid device may exist, does that mean that there can be more than one alias in /etc/modprobe.conf pointing to ndiswrapper? For example:

alias wlan0 ndiswrapper
alias wlan1 ndiswrapper
alias eth1 ndiswrapper

Will the ndiswrapper kernel module be able to be used by more than one device at once?

If yes, then I was thinking of controlling the association of the hardware with the interfaces by using UDEV rules.

I have read the man page and there wasn't any indication of what to do when multiple devices are present, and since I only have one wireless card, I'd appreciate any enlightenment on this subject.

Thanks in advance!

Cheers,

Eugéne
