Take the 2-minute tour ×  So I followed instructions a tad late
to get my wireless setup going. I use the b43 drivers. The
problem is that if I restart the computer, it won't activate
until I launch the terminal and use the "modprobe b43" command.
Anyway that I can get it to start so I won't need to use it?

package installed? –  enzotib Oct 18 '11 at 9:35 ya, I did the
one for the STA method, but realized that I needed to look for
b43 in the search using Ubuntu 11.10 instead of Broadcom. Mine
is the 4318 so I needed b43. So I took it off as well as the
source (since both were installed this way) –  zapoqx Oct 18 '11

You can add it to /etc/modules  Just put the name eg b43 not
sudo modprobe b43  share|improve this answer well stupid me, I
woke up early, decided to look at it and added "foo" and my
desktop would no longer show. Instead, I would just get the
options for opening windows and
