Hard to say really, iwlist scan doesn't get any results and I can't associate
with the AP which is physically right next to the device. I'll try the newest
bcm43xx from git and see what happens.
Same thing (no scan results and can't associate with the AP) happens with
ndiswrapper, though I don't know if the radio is on or off.
Cheers,
Marcin
