(1) download latest compat-wireless archive from the website (2) make; make install (3) make unload; make load. And the result is what I got in the original message, i.e. b43 "failed to select rate control algorithm". John suggested that I modprobe rc80211_simple, which tries to load the ubuntu rc80211 module that complains about symbol version problems. If I try loading rc80211 before I load b43, it loads, but then b43 suffers from the symbol problems instead.
