Okay, I thought it was something similar. > As you have git cloned the wireless-2.6 tree, it is very simple to do > a git pull to update your source.

In fact, with my untrained git skills I managed to mess it up due to the patches i'd applied earlier. (PCI-E and manually enabling 4311.) Anyways, I ended up just re-cloning the wireless-2.6 tree using cg-clone. > I'm pretty sure the problem is with the x86_64 version that I'm running > No interrupts are delivered to the software. I've been meaning to set up a partition with a 64-bit installation of Ubuntu or something, so when I manage to do that I'll let you know. On to the results: I compiled and installed wireless-2.6 with no problems. Bcm43xx was detected, and you are right, it seems much more stable. Even the radio-enable light turns on and off appropriately when I toggle the switch. Unfortunately, though, it acts as if it the radio is turned off. I cannot associate with any AP, and "iwlist eth2 scan" lists nothing. Now that I'm on an untouched wireless-2.6 kernel, I'll try to git-pull more often and test whenever updates are available. (Is this the best method for testing the latest changes? I could apply patches manually, but I'll have to learn how to "undo" those in git properly.) Anyways, I'll end this message with my "dmesg|grep bcm" output.
