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.
