Broadcom Hybrid drivers startup
Hi, I have a question on the recently released broadcom drivers. I got them installed via their website, but the problem is that I have to run
modprobe ieee80211_crypt_tkip
sudo insmod ~/broadcom43xx/wl.koeach time at startup. How can I turn this into a script? the sudo line is my problem here. I did a depmod -a, and added wl to my modules array, but it doesn't seem to find it. Can you suggest a way that could prevent me from typing this every time I log in?
Thanks for all of your help!

Re: Broadcom Hybrid drivers startup
Use the rc.conf MODULES array - that's what it's there for.

Re: Broadcom Hybrid drivers startup
You are loading the module from root's home directory based on the command above. This module needs to be in the regular /lib/modules/2.x.y-ARCH module path in order to be picked up. Does the driver package not come with any instructions? I assume you had to build this module from source?
