securitybreach Posted December 23, 2010 Posted December 23, 2010 This was going to be my next question. When I rebooted, I did not have wireless. Once, I typed sudo modprobe b43 I had it. So I figured there would be a way to run a script that would run this command automatically upon boot.Do I need to create this script/entry into this folder or will I be editing an existing file?Thanks,Ian/etc/modules is a text file. Just add b43 to the file:# /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time.## This file contains the names of kernel modules that should be loaded# at boot time, one per line. Lines beginning with "#" are ignored.lpb43 Quote
