I'm using ubuntu 9.10 w/ nsdiwrapper as wireless driver. After each reboot I am forced to run the command 'sudo modprobe wl', however I am not certain what I lack that it is not detecting the wireless device automatically. I could certainly add some commands in the .profile shell script to run this automatically but I feel like there is a larger issue just under the surface which needs addressed.

Sometimes after lots of downloading the wireless connection seems to die, not that it looses connectivity via the gui or that disconnecting and reconnecting make any difference. To get a good wireless connection again I have to reboot the machine and re-enter 'sudo modprobe wl'.

Anyone have thoughts?
