[Virtual-pkg-base-maintainers] Bug#701511: base: At boot, the wrong b43 driver is loaded. I installed compat-drivers-3.7.6-1

Package: base
Severity: important

The b43 driver installed at boot does not work.  I have included a 
work around.
I installed the b43 driver from compat-drivers-3.7.6-1 and it works.
After boot, I can manually unload the b43 driver and reload it
then ifup wlan0 works.  Doing this in rc.local does not work
unless I add sleep's

> locate b43.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.32-5-686/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/b43/b43.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.32-5-686/updates/drivers/net/wireless/b43/b43.ko
> cat /etc/rc.local
/sbin/modprobe -v -r b43
/sbin/modprobe -v b43
/sbin/ifup wlan0 

Does not work.

> cat /etc/rc.local
sleep 2
/sbin/modprobe -v -r b43
sleep 2
/sbin/modprobe -v b43
sleep 2
/sbin/ifup wlan0 

does work.
