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.
