# loadndisdriver(8)

Userspace ndis driver loader for the ndiswrapper Linux kernel module

## NAME

loadndisdriver - Userspace ndis driver loader for the ndiswrapper Linux kernel module

## SYNOPSIS

**loadndisdriver**

## DESCRIPTION

**loadndisdriver** is a support program for the ndiswrapper Linux kernel module. The ndiswrapper kernel module uses it to load ndis drivers that have been installed via the [**ndiswrapper**(8)](/ndiswrapper/8.md) tool.

**loadndisdriver** should not be used directly, only the kernel module should use it. Therefore, it's options are volatile, and subject to change during the development of the ndiswrapper kernel module.

The */etc/ndiswrapper* directory is expected to contain the ndis files that **loadndisdriver** requires.
