My wireless isn't working - includes info

I went through the steps in the sticky and below is the output. Any help is appreciated.

PS I wasn’t sure how much of the output was needed when I printed the kernel message buffer so it probably has extra info.

The next step is to run the command ‘dmesg | grep b43’ and check/post
the output.

After about 50 similar problems, I guessed that was the problem.
