You probably upgraded the kernel, which changes ABI every so often. With
every new set of kernel and linux-restricted-modules packages, you will
lose the manually installed firmware, third-party modules, etc.

I keep this open as a wishlist bug against l-r-m. It would be shiny if
firmware could be moved over on package upgrades, since it is not ABI
specific. Alternatively, firmware should be searched for in an ABI-
independent path.

** Changed in: linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22 (Ubuntu)
Sourcepackagename: restricted-manager => linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22
   Importance: Undecided => Wishlist
       Status: New => Confirmed

** Summary changed:

- Upgrade to latest Gutsy Gibbon turned off Broadcom 43xx
+ Keep firmware on ABI bumps
