Hi

The above adapter is installed in my ACER Extensa 5220, googling around I 
found various references to this chip, the main resume seems to be "works 
only with ndiswrapper." Is it true and if it is ATM, is it going to 
change?:-) Any work in progress or plans to support it natively? lspci -vv 
output is at http://home.arcor.de/g.liakhovetski/extensa5220/.

Tried brutally adding the PCI ID to the ssb driver and ssb ID to the b43 
driver. Here's the result:

ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:04:00.0 disabled
