Martin, sorry for the delay in getting back, but here's the information
you requested:

OK, no success with this either.  Here's what I tried:

paul :~$ cat /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-bcm43 
blacklist bcm43xx                            
blacklist b43                                
blacklist b43_legacy                         
blacklist ssb                                
blacklist b44                                
# load wl before b44 so that both work       
install wl modprobe -r b43 b44 b43legacy ssb; modprobe --ignore-install wl 
$CMDLINE_OPTS; modprobe -Qba b44

and after rebooting, still no wireless.  But, unexpectedly, the b44 got
loaded and my wired network is working.

Could there be something else going on here .. perhaps modprobe is
misbehaving and not executing this blacklist file?
