You might check and see if it is already posted as a bug, if it has not, you should create one. The driver should be able to load automatically instead of having to do a workaround.
You might also check and make sure that the following modules are not loaded when you start up: b43, b43legacy, bcm43xx, ssb (unless you have a Broadcom wired ethernet connection), and ndiswrapper. The way to check this is by doing the following:
Code:
lsmod|grep -i -e b43 -e bcm43xx -e ssb -e ndiswrapper
You don't need to add b43legacy because it will be grabbed by the b43 search. It should not return anything unless you have a Broadcom wired ethernet connection that uses the b44 driver. To see if you have this, do the following in the Terminal:
It will return the information for your network cards. At the bottom of the information for each card, it will tell you what driver the card is using. If your wired card shows a b44 driver, you will then need to have ssb. I have to say that I have not seen any 4315 cards that have a b44 wired card.
