Everyone:

Updating to the new kernel temporarily knocked out my wireless connectivity on my Dell Inspiron 1545.

That is, until I executed:

# modprobe b43

Or, since I am a member of "wheel":

$ sudo modprobe b43

A few seconds after I issued that command, wireless was enabled, and the connection I had long been using, re-activated itself.

Question: must I execute "modprobe xxx" with every kernel upgrade?

(By the way: it turns out that module "wl" is not necessary.)

to make it permanent..
sudo echo b43 >> /etc/modules

I'll assume it's solved. I had to "become root" to do it, but I executed:

# echo b43 >> modules

while is directory /etc

Now I have a file called "modules" with the line "b43" in it.
