Booting into previous kernel (2.6.22.4-65):
a) using b43-fwcutter/b43 module combo: /var/log/messages complains 
about firmware being wrong (and tells me to go download the exact same 
file that I just used)
b) using bcm43xx-fwcutter/bcm43xx module: wlan does not show up
c) using bcm43xx-fwcutter/b43 module: wlan0 shows up and is usable!

None of the combinations work in the latest kernel (2.6.22.5-76) - in 
all cases wlan0 does not show up, even setting the alias as you mentioned

Is there any way to diagnose the problem? Nothing shows up in 
/var/log/messages at all when I'm using b43 (a lot of messages show up 
when doing same in previous kernel)

Thanks
