According to https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/b43, that device 
is not supported by b43. The only driver for that device is wl, the proprietary 
driver by Broadcom. That driver needs to be reinstalled every time the kernel is 
changed. That is what you need to do.

That's right. In other words you were never using b43 with this card.
It just couldn't work.
