wifi won't load without two command line instructions?

[Moonstone Man]

The question then becomes, Is there some way to make these automatic on reboot?

Actually, it doesn't. The question becomes, what's inside your machine?

Please post the output of inxi -Fxz from a terminal and enclose it in code tags.

I am having the same problem with my laptop. Here is the output from my machine. I have no idea what code tags are.
