But, the b43-pci-bridge driver is still in use.

Why do these commands not work?

After boot, wlan0 is not up.

I enabled verbose in /etc/init.d/rc.local and see the proper message on

Hi Thomas, I also have b43 on my HP laptop, my kernel version:
uname -a
Linux debian-ws 3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.2.35-2 x86_64 GNU/Linux
and

        Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device [103c:1508]
        Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 17
        Memory at d2100000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
        Capabilities: <access denied>
        Kernel driver in use: b43-pci-bridge
Why do you use rc.local script and what for do you need this string in your rc.local: /sbin/modprobe -r b43 ?
I use b43-legacy driver which was downloaded from this site: http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43, and it works like a charm. You can try to choose an appropriate driver for your system, if you think that your current driver doesn't work well.
