 I had to do that very thing for my Uncle... I showed him how to do the
 "modprobe b43" but he is 80 years old... so I found this to make it
 permanent & it did work..

The problem is: it doesn't seem to work for me. When I reboot, the 
machine does not mention wireless at all. Not, that is, until I execute 
"sudo modprobe b43" from a regular user prompt. Then it finds the 
connection at once.

PS: next I'm going to try to load "wl" first, then "b43" and see
what 
happens.
