Comment 35 for bug 188621

This STILL is present in Ubuntu Intrepid (2.6.27-9). In my case b44 (wired connection) loads ssb before ndiswrapper (wifi). Blacklisting ssb does not work because then wired connections fail, and update-initramfs -u does nothing for me.

However, A far easier fix to the issue for end users is to edit the "/etc/rc.local file" and add the following before the "exit 0" line:

rmmod b43
rmmod b44
rmmod ssb
rmmod ndiswrapper
modprobe ndiswrapper
modprobe ssb
modprobe b44
