[ale] bcm4318 keeps forgetting

Is this on an Ubuntu or derivative?   I had problems like this with Ubuntu and Linuxmint on two different friends laptops.   Updates would clobber the 43xx configuration too.   It was just easier for me to put them on Fedora, and cinnamon desktop.   Then (wireless) things stay fixed.   I know that's the easy way out...
