Still not working in linux-2.6.29-rc8. Broken after the commit below.
There were many changes to wireless after this commit, and simply
reverting this commit will break compiling.

    b43/legacy: remove SSID code

    The SSID programmed into the device is used by the ucode only
    to reply to probe requests, a functionality we disable anyway
    because it doesn't fit with the mac80211/hostapd programming
    model. Therefore, it isn't useful to program the SSID into
    device.
