Thanks for the tip. Indeed, linux-firmware was not installed on my system. As I understand it, it should have been drawn by linux-image as a dependency. The problem is, linux-image was not installed on my system. linux-image-generic was also missing, but as I just wanted to install it, Synaptic logs this as a mere update from 2.6.27.7.8 to 2.6.27.7.10.
An interesting point: the update that broke the wireless is logged as having removed linux-generic. Maybe this is the breach. I don't think my system is untypical: I was using generic kernel images and they always have been updated correctly.
