[Solved] B43 Wireless Broke with update (I think)

Wireless has been working fine for a few months, all of a sudden my b43 wireless card does not get enabled.
Even when I login and do 'sudo ifconfig wlan0' up and try to do a 'iwlist scan' it says no wireless networks found even though I know for a fact there is.
Any help would be appreciated, I'm not sure what other information to put here, so just ask and I'll post it.
Thanks

is that the problem that you have? if yes, just enable the card and restart the system. i found out that if i start my computer with the card disable i had a lot of problems trying to enable it. neigher reloading the module will help.

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Solved...kind of, I switched from B43 to broadcom-wl and eveything seems to be fine, so I'm not going to question it
