Maybe you have a wlan0_rename device or similar? IIRC there were some
changes in 2.6.24 that cause breakage with the
/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules that etch's udev creates¹.
Some seven months ago I had this problem myself, also on a laptop with
the b43 driver, the solution was to move said file out of the way and
reboot. See also this Ubuntu bug:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/udev/+bug/213903 and its
duplicates.

¹ In etch the file is /etc/udev/rules.d/z25_persistent-net.rules, it is
automatically renamed on udev upgrades.
