Thanks.

I just took a look at mine and now I'm not sure what to think.  Here's what mine has in it:

--- Code: ---# /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time.
#
# This file contains the names of kernel modules that should be loaded
# at boot time, one per line. Lines beginning with "#" are ignored.
# Parameters can be specified after the module name.

lp
rtc
lp
rtc
# Chip drivers
it87

--- End code ---

It has two each of "lp" and "rtc".  So, just leave yours alone if you're not having any problems.  (I think I vaguely remember adding the Chip drivers "it87" manually, but am not sure and I completely forget why I did that, if I did that.  So, don't add those two lines to yours just because you see them in mine.)

Correct.

">>" appends the "b43" to the end of the file (adds it to what is already there).

">" replaces the contents of the file with whatever is specified by echo command

You can open the file in leafpad as root and delete that last instance of b43 -- you only need one line for it.

--- Code: ---gksu leafpad /etc/modules
--- End code ---

Then just save the changes and close leafpad when done.

Thank You for explaining.
