Hi, I figured out the b43 module can find my network (with iwlist scan) if I don't press the radio switch button. After turn it off and turn it on again, it doesn't work anymore. But even after find the network and configure the device with iwconfig, it doesn't work and I get this warning about DMA on dmesg:
