I've never been that.  I suggest that you unload b43 and ssb modules,
then load ssb and look for messages.  There should be a message like:

ssb: Sonics Silicon Backplane found on PCI device 0000:02:02.0

If you don't see in in the kernel log, then it's the ssb module that
doesn't want to work with your PCI card.  If you see that message but
loading b43 doesn't result in recognizing your card, then we should be
looking why the wi-fi device one the ssb bus doesn't match any entry in
b43.

It's better to use modinfo:

modinfo ssb
modinfo b43
