Looking at drivers/ssb/main.c, I think there has to be something like this in the syslog when the ssb module is loaded: Sonics Silicon Backplane found on PCI device 05:00.0 Do you see such a message? If it is absent then the SSB bus is not recognized on your device. I am not too optimistic now, because I found a MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE in drivers/ssb/b43_pci_bridge.c which does not include your PCI device ID. You could try to "modprobe b43_pci_bridge" if it is not loaded already, but this is grasping at straws. The general PCI ID table lists two different BCM4312 wlan adapters; it seems that currently only the one with the device ID 0x4312 is supported, while yours with the device ID 0x4315 is not.
