Well, B43 is now working for me again -- I have no explanation as to why it wasn't working before -- just thought I'd give it one more try.
I know many prefer the STA driver, but something is better than nothing -- and in my case have a history of kernel panics using STA on this hardware.
I just removed the STA driver using the "Additional Drivers" gui, then did sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer. That was that...
