Hi,

Try the following procedure to enable wireless during boot:

Run the following commands:

sudo touch /etc/init.d/b43.sh
sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/b43.sh
gksudo gedit /etc/init.d/b43.sh

# Add the following lines to this new file /etc/init.d/b43.sh:

#! /bin/sh
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: b43 functionality
# Required-Start:
# Required-Stop:
# Default-Start: S
# Default-Stop:
# Short-Description: enable script to load b43 wireless driver instead of the b44 wired driver
# Description: enable script to load b43 wireless driver instead of the b44 wired driver
### END INIT INFO
modprobe -r b43 b44 ssb ndiswrapper
modprobe b43
ifconfig wlan0 up

# Then reboot and retest wireless

# No guarantee this will work, as I do not have your hardware and cannot
test this myself.


# If wireless still does not work after saving this new b43.sh file,
then you might need to run the script manually - after each boot - with
the following command:

sudo sh /etc/init.d/b43.sh

# And you can run the following command to disable the wireless script
so that it does not run during boot:

sudo chmod -x /etc/init.d/b43.sh

Regards,

Mark
