That's not a ssb or b43 bug.
Please compile and load rc80211_simple.
I think we should change this error message, as obviously people don't
understand that the issue is a failed module request for the rc module.
Maybe add another message like "Please install a mac80211 rate control module,
such as rc80211_simple" if the error code is -ENOENT (-2)
Another suggestion?
