I wonder if there's conflicts due to the b43 driver supporting PCI ID 14e4:4315 with Linux Kernel 2.6.32 and later.

Some debugging techniques I might try if I decide to do the upgrade and have problems would be:
   * Get a list of the potentially relevant devices (using a terminal/console):
lspci -vnn | grep 14e4
   * do an "lsmod" and look for things like b43 and wl (again from a terminal/console)
   * Try to figure out the firmware cutter stuff mentioned at: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/b43
   * Try enabling and disabling the wl driver with jockey-gtk or jockey-text (I like the new jockey-text), and trying a reboot inbetween each action.
...

Thanks,
