Module not loading at startup + logs

I am having a problem getting my rtl8187 module to load at startup. This is my wireless driver. At startup my wireless refuses to work. I check my modules "lsmod" and the rtl8187 module appears to be loaded. However my wireless only starts working after I remove the module and then reload it.

Can somebody tell me where I can find the log that will tell me whats going on with this module at startup.

You say the module gets loaded, as does lsmod. So there will be no error message, as the system thinks the module is working(which it probably is). The reason your wireless is not working may be another issue. In order for some things to work correctly certain things need be loaded before other things can access them.

anyway, all error logs are in /var/log, shouldn't take you long to look through them. They are dated.

Looking at `dmesg | less` too might help
