Comment 155 for bug 182716

I'm not sure of the meaning of the tests. The values in the SPROM are read only when the base driver ssb is loaded. Unless you reboot, or modprobe -r b43, changes are ignored. I think you need to do them again.

As to why it doesn't come up running, that is a matter for other of the Ubuntu mailing lists. Under both openSUSE 10.3 and 11.0, the wireless always starts unless there is a wired connection. It always gets priority.
