Public bug reported:

I made a fresh install of 14.04 on a Dell XPS-8900 there is about two  or three month.
The driver was missing, and I have installed manually a driver. It has worked, but with an ennoying problem.

Each time a new Linux version is updated and then the computer is
reboot, driver is lost and must install again.

As it's not my computer, but the one of a friend which doesn't know
about computers, I had to go and  reinstall and reboot the machine. I
have made a script which allows the user to do that, but it's really a
pain ...

Is there a way to avoid such things ?

Thanks
