Hello again problem solvers. My April 29 post listed the problems I had getting my wifi to work on a Dell laptop. It now works thanks to madvinegar's solution but everytime I start the computer up it is gone again. I found out opening a terminal and typing the command sudo modprobe wl activates it quickly so I am wondering how to have it activated on startup? I am using Zorin os 8 32 bit. Other information can be found under my April 29 (wireless and ethernet not working post). Thank you for your time and advice.

Hi,
look in your BIOS for your wireless settings and "Remember Last State" (or something like that), it should then switch on your WiFi when you boot!.

Open terminal and run the following command:
echo 'wl' | sudo tee -a /etc/modules
Restart and you should be ok.
