Does anyone know where I can add a call to modprob in the network up/down scripts? I'm trying to bring up an installation of Mint 14 on a Dell laptop that originally came with factory-installed Ubuntu, and after lots of reading and trying things, I've got it to the point that if I run "modprobe b43" after booting, the wireless comes up. I figure that there has got to be some way to incorporate this into one of the boot scripts.
Thanks in advance for any advice!

You would add b43 to /etc/modules. Run
in a terminal.
Post the output of
and
from a terminal before you modify anything. There could be something else causing b43 not to load.
Code: Select all
gksudo gedit /etc/modules
in a terminal.
Post the output of
Code: Select all
lspci -vvnn | grep 14e4
and
Code: Select all
lsmod
from a terminal before you modify anything. There could be something else causing b43 not to load.
