I don't either. Yes, I got those same warnings until I turned RFKILL, etc. off in my config. In any case, the LEDS are in the back where I cannot see them anyway. Do you have any PCI (not Cardbus) devices that work with b43? Do you know of anyone that does? I tried my PCI-based BCM4318 with the version of b43 that was introduced in the 2.6.24 merge, but it didn't work either. I can receive data, but not transmit. The code gets all the way to where it pokes the DMA transmission, and the interrupts are all enabled correctly, but no TX interrupts are delivered. This is a regression against bcm43xx, but has been in b43 and b43legacy since they were introduced into mainline. My gut says that both b43 and b43legacy are affected by a common problem. I no longer have a wireless-2.6 tree to check back further, but it may be necessary to do so.
