Now I have a file called "modules" with the line "b43" in it.

I had to do that very thing for my Uncle... I showed him how to do the "modprobe b43" but he is 80 years old... so I found this to make it permanent & it did work..
The problem is: it doesn't seem to work for me. When I reboot, the machine does not mention wireless at all. Not, that is, until I execute "sudo modprobe b43" from a regular user prompt. Then it finds the connection at once.

PS: next I'm going to try to load "wl" first, then "b43" and see what happens.

If you have install the "wl" module from a package, for example from RPMfusion, it includes configuration to block b43 from loading (because they conflict otherwise). If you want to use b43, uninstall the wl package(s) (e.g. "yum remove broadcom-wl").

And that solves the problem. Now when I boot or reboot, I get a wireless connection on login, every time.

Create a shell script that does this (without sudo, of course) and call it from /etc/rc.local. That way, it will be done at the end of the boot process and you won't have to worry about it.

If so, you can disregard my suggestion about using /etc/rc.local, although it's a good thing to keep in mind in case it's ever needed.
