This is utter nonsense! The module ssb contains a mini-driver named
b43-pci-bridge. It contains the code that the kernel uses to load a
driver, which automatically means that ssb is loaded. Then the bridge
uses the 802.11 core revision to determine if this device needs b43 or
b43legacy. These latter drivers load the firmware.

Please post the output of the command

dmesg | egrep "ssb|b43|wlan0"

when it is in the "unable to connect" state.
