Similarly, is SSB needed on x86en which > usually don't have such? B43 only depends on PCMCIA if that option is selected in the configuration. Mine doesn't, but most distros will. Ssb is the PCI driver for b43. If you have a PCI device, then you need it. Ssb was split out because it is shared among b43, b43legacy and b44.
