My HP dv 9428 Broadcom 43xx needed a startup script fix to find the wireless at startup. I used Wieman01's fix:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=1351902&postcount=2
and now it doesn't start wireless connection at startup.
Do I need to execute the same fix again? Or use a different value than before?
HOWTO: Wireless Security - WPA1, WPA2, LEAP, etc.
Some users reported (including myself) that the network has to be restarted every time after startup... Apparently this is a bug.
Here is a workaround that helps restart the network during boot so that one does not have to do it manually after logging on to the system.
Create startup script:
Quote:
sudo gedit /etc/init.d/wireless-network.sh
Add this line & save file:
Quote:
/etc/init.d/networking restart
Change permission (executable):
Quote:
sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/wireless-network.sh
Create symbolic link:
Quote:
sudo ln -s /etc/init.d/wireless-network.sh /etc/rcS.d/S40wireless-network
[Note: You may have to choose a boot sequence other than S40.]
Restart...
