How do I make modprobe permanent?

Question

For my wireless adapter (inside my computer) to enable it, I run modprobe b43 and that turns it on. But, when I reboot it goes back to no device. So, how do I make this totally permanent?

Add b43 to /etc/modules file. It should work (You can add it by running the following command)

echo b43 | sudo tee -a /etc/modules

That's not ubuntu-like, a sudo of this will give "permission denied". Use `sudoedit /etc/modules` – Joce Oct 15 '15 at 11:02

Alternative sudo version: `echo "b43" | sudo tee -a /etc/modules` – webwurst Aug 19 '18 at 16:30
