The Windows drivers for my wireless card are on the
hard drive in /var/lib/driverloader, which is where
the driverloader installer put them when I initially
did my install.

In a terminal window, do "ls /var/lib" (no quotes) to
see if there is a driverloader directory there.  If
not, then do "locate driverloader" to find ALL
occurances of "driverloader."  If "locate" doesn't do
anything, the locate database probably hasn't been
initialized.  As root: "slocate -u" to create one.

"man ls" and "man slocate" for the details.

It sounds like your drivers are being deleted when you
shutdown your system or they are being installed in
RAM.  Or they are just installed in the wrong place.
