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.
