Please check that modules rfkill and rfkill-input are configured and loaded on 
your system. In your 
dmesg output, you are missing lines that look like

Registered led device: b43-phy0:tx
Registered led device: b43-phy0:rx
Registered led device: b43-phy0:radio

Are you running the panel applet? On my KDE system, I can right click on that 
icon in the 
lower-right hand corner, and select from any of the AP's in my vicinity.
