Title:
  firmware-b43-installer should run 'modprobe b43' after installation

Status in “b43-fwcutter” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: b43-fwcutter

  The wiki page at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx#Installing%20b43%20drivers says that you can run 'modprobe -r ssb b43' and then 'modprobe b43' after installing the b43 firmware using this package so that you don't have to restart. 
  I have found that I only have to run 'modprobe b43'.
  Why not make the package installation scripts run the modprobe command(s) and save people the need to reboot just for wireless?
