Hi people
I have a bcm4311 on hp nx7400:

10:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM94311MCG wlan mini-PCI 
(rev 01)

I use a vanilla 2.6.24.4 that the radio button do not change the radio status 
of my card.
Also, do not show the "radio hardware enable/disable" on the dmesg (with the 
debug options enabled)

i have the debian testing stock kernel 2.6.24-1-686
and diff my config with this and found that in the debian kernel has
CONFIG_B43_RFKILL=y

can my .config has error?
can i forgot enable something?

Is very extrange, but in latest bcm43xx (previous kernels) it was work.
in the change to bcm43xx to b43 i lost this feature.
 
Another issue that i can detect is the follow:
On a network with two ap's with same essid, is very difficult to connect
i think that the roaming from one ap to another is fail.
i will try to send output when i connect to that network in next weekend

thanks all.
