Hi all,
I somehow wondered why on a Dell Inspiron 1521 the wireless is not cooperating by default. The problem turns out to be the ssb module, which is not only a dependency to the b44 driver (for the wired network card) but also likes to handle the Broadcom 4328 device.
ssb is an internal bus on your b43 and b44 cards. So your setup looks like this:
pci-bus |

In the end wireless works well when removing b44, ssb and wl. Then loading wl first, followed by b44 (which pulls in ssb).
b43/b44/ssb are not compatible with wl. Uninstall wl.
