Mark this isn't a good test. It only says that your config doesn't
contain references to b43.
If you do "make menuconfig" and then search for b43 (type slash to reach
the search functionality) many entries will show up: I count 23 hits in
2.6.39-gentoo-r1 kernel.
Grant: you say that the requirements are satisfied, yet I see "MAC80211
[=n]", could be it? Same way as above to see where the option you lack
can be activated
