Basically you did it right. Please, check the files under the /etc/modprobe.d, if there is not blacklisted something related. E.g.: blacklist b43 Or, perhaps some module on which the b43 depends... These can be local changes or file installed by another package (non-free driver?) Another thing (which i would be check) is the initrd image, did you update him after adding the line into /etc/modules? Try read about update-initramfs. regards -- Slavko http://slavino.sk
