    Wireless at Boot

    I am using Kubuntu Dapper 6.06. Finally, after much grief, I have gotten my wireless working on Emachine M5312 (Broadcom 4306 rev 02) using fwcutter! Working well with WEP off, I have not yet configured encryption. Problem is, after I shut down and restart, I have no wireless until I run command: sudo modprobe bcm43xx from terminal in order to get wireless running! How can I get wireless to start automatically on boot? Or, if necessary, how can I get sudo modprobe bcm43xx to run automatically at boot? Thank you

    BTW, if it helps, the /etc/network/interfaces file is as follows: auto lo
    iface lo inet loopback
    address 127.0.0.1
    netmask 255.0.0.0

    auto eth0
    iface eth0 inet dhcp

    auto eth1
    iface eth1 inet dhcp
    pre-up iwconfig eth1 rate 11M
    wireless-rate 11M
    wireless-essid HIW
    pre-up ifconfig eth1 up


    auto eth2
    iface eth2 inet dhcp

    auto ath0
    iface ath0 inet dhcp

    auto wlan0
    iface wlan0 inet dhcp

      do an "echo bcm43xx >> /etc/modules" and you should be fine.
