My workaround for this bug is to create an init.d script (similar to the original posters) with:

#!/bin/bash

rmmod b43 # Unloads the bad b43 driver
rmmod b44 # Unloads the ethernet driver temporarily since we are unplugin ssb
rmmod ohci_hcd # (this is a bad kernel dependency, fix bug!)
rmmod ssb # temporarily remove the broadcom service
rmmod ndiswrapper # ensure ndiswrapper is GONE
modprobe ndiswrapper # plug ndiswrapper (notice it has to happen before ssb)
modprobe ssb # replug ssb now that ndiswrapper is there
modprobe ohci_hcd # ... blah
modprobe b44 # make sure we have ethernet again
