when i restart my Dell inspiron 5010 it do not detects the wifi drivers and the hotkey for turning the wifi card on is not working either. I am using proprietary drivers "Broadcom 802.11 Linux STA Wireless driver source from bcmwl-kernel-source (proprietary)". I need to click and apply "Do not Use the device" and then switch back to the proprietary driver. When i do that the wifi turns on again and my hotkey button for switching it on works now. But when i restart i need to repeat that procedure to enable my wifi drivers. Can i fix that? I am using Ubuntu 12.10
