    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
