[Solved]Remove and activate wlan drivers after every reboot

[Solved]
I know that I am supposed to post the mintWifi results, but I am using wifi now, so it wouldn't actually yield any useful information. I have the dell inspiron 1318 with the broadcom 1395 wlan card. The problem is that after every power off I have to "remove", and then "activate" the wifi drivers (info below) from in the additional drivers window. Before I do that, the network settings button in the info bar doesn't even have the wireless option. After I do, it works perfectly fine. Does anyone have any suggestions about how to fix this. I have considered just making a script that runs on startup to remove and activate it automatically, so if that is the only solution, could someone explain how to do so. I can add it to startup myself, but working with the additional drivers thing from terminal is something I would need to be helped with.
The "additional driver" is the "Broadcom STA wireless driver" with the information " This package contains Broadcom 802.11 Linux STA wireless driver for use with Broadcom's BCM4311-, BCM4312-, BCM4313-, BCM4321-, BCM4322-, BCM43224-, and BCM43225-, BCM43227- and BCM43228-based hardware."
thanks for any help. If I left anything out (which I'm sure that I did) just leave a comment telling me.
