Public bug reported: I am running Ubuntu 9.10 on a USB key with persistance. I have had issues with loading and running the drivers for the wireless adapter which is a Broadcom 802.11b/g WLAN in my Compaq Presario notebook computer. When I power up, the default driver does not switch on the adapter. I am required to manually load the driver. The default B43 driver does not appear to work and crashed this time so I must load the propriotry Broadcom STA driver which does not always switch the adapter on either. I have had the same issue with Ubuntu 10.04 on a USB key.
