FWIW, I also ran the test of adding wl to /etc/modules.

Without the blacklist file, it does not work. But, with this blacklist
file, it does work .. I get both wifi and eth0. Here's what I ended up
using:
paul :~$ cat /etc/modules
# /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time.
#
# This file contains the names of kernel modules that should be loaded
# at boot time, one per line. Lines beginning with "#" are ignored.
loop
lp
rtc
wl
paul :~$ cat /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-bcm43
blacklist bcm43xx
blacklist b43
blacklist b43legacy
blacklist ssb
#blacklist b44
# load wl before b44 so that both work
install wl modprobe -r b43 b44 b43legacy ssb; modprobe --ignore-install
wl $CMDLINE_OPTS; modprobe -b b44
