If "b43.ko" has been loaded?  With lsmod:

# lsmod
Module                  Size  Used by
mousedev                5800  0
ssb                    19204  0
usbtouchscreen          3332  0

My output here is:

ssb: Core 0 found: ChipCommon (cc 0x800, rev 0x04, vendor 0x4243)
ssb: Core 1 found: IEEE 802.11 (cc 0x812, rev 0x05, vendor 0x4243)
ssb: Core 2 found: PCMCIA (cc 0x80D, rev 0x02, vendor 0x4243)
ssb: Core 3 found: V90 (cc 0x807, rev 0x02, vendor 0x4243)
ssb: Core 4 found: PCI (cc 0x804, rev 0x09, vendor 0x4243)
ssb: Sonics Silicon Backplane found on PCI device 0000:03:00.0

And, because b43.ko doesn't get auto-loaded, I don't have a
"b43-phy0"-line.




I'm not sure if the following is relevant, but here is the
output of "lspci -n":

03:00.0 0280: 14e4:4320 (rev 03)

And if I manually "modprobe b43", I get this:

b43-phy0: Broadcom 4306 WLAN found
b43-phy0 debug: Found PHY: Analog 2, Type 2, Revision 2
b43-phy0 debug: Found Radio: Manuf 0x17F, Version 0x2050, Revision 2
b43-phy0 debug: Radio turned off
wmaster0: Selected rate control algorithm 'simple'

After "iwconfig eth1 essid XXXXX", "iwconfig eth1 key s:XXXXX"
and "ifconfig eth1 up", I get this:

b43-phy0 debug: Adding Interface type 2
b43-phy0 debug: Loading firmware version 351.126 (2006-07-29 05:54:02)
b43-phy0 debug: Radio turned on
b43-phy0 debug: Radio enabled by hardware
b43-phy0 ERROR: bbatt(11) >= size of LO array
b43-phy0 debug: Chip initialized

HW CONFIG: channel=1 freq=2412 phymode=3
b43-phy0 debug: Using hardware based encryption for keyidx: 0, mac: 
ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

But I'm pretty sure this is unrelated to auto-loading b43 :-)



> I assume that you meant b43 when you typed b32

Yes. That's why I did "dmesg >a" and "scp" for the texts above :-)

Fortunately not in my case.

I don't care that much for bitrate, I'd rather have a very
long range, even when it's only 1 MB/s. My main application
is SSH :-)
