I never had 2.6.22-12 kernel installed -- my initial upgrade to Gusty came with 2.6.22-13 kernel.

I looked through dmesg and it doesn't say anything about firmware version unless firmware loading fails.

I confirmed that firmware is enabled in the restricted drivers manager and that I am using the "blessed" version 3 of the firmware from http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#devicefirmware
