Comment 65 for bug 443185

I investigated this more closely, and I'm afraid there is no easy way to have the b43 driver appear in jockey when STA is enabled.

Technical background: the STA driver blacklists tbe ssb module (it has to, in order to work at all), and the b43 module has modaliases in terms of "ssb:". Since there are no ssb: devices at all, the b43 module does not match on the current system. Even when loading ssb manually (or adding a manual modalias file for it) doesn't help, since wl blocks the detection of any ssb devices.

So the official answer for this is: Disable STA first, then enable b43. Sorry :-/
