If you have to modprobe b43 to get it to load, your device is not supported. You can verify that with an '/sbin/lspci -nnv' command, and compare the codes in the first line of the wireless device with the list of supported interfaces. For example, my unit reports "[14e4:4311]". If the device were supported, the driver would load the firmware from /lib/modules/b43 with no further input by you.
