Confirmed, but the problem for me is how to select MAC80211_LEDS and
B43_LEDS. Searching in menuconfig I found this:
Symbol: B43_LEDS [=n]
Symbol: RFKILL_LEDS [=n]
with no more info below them.
Then MAC80211_LEDS turned up this:
Symbol: MAC80211_LEDS [=n]
Prompt: Enable LED triggers
Defined at net/mac80211/Kconfig:74
Depends on: NET && !S390 && MAC80211 && LEDS_TRIGGERS
Location:
-> Networking
-> Networking support (NET [=y])
-> Wireless
-> Generic IEEE 802.11 Networking Stack (mac80211) (MAC80211
[=y])
Selected by: IWL4965_LEDS && NETDEVICES && !S390 && IWL4965 ||
IWL3945_LEDS && NETDEVICES && !S390 && IWL3945
So without IWL4965 / IWL3945 MAC80211_LEDS can't be selected!!
Selecting IWL3945 and IWL3945_LEDS and reloading menuconfig gives me:
CONFIG_MAC80211_LEDS=y
CONFIG_RFKILL=m
CONFIG_RFKILL_INPUT=m
CONFIG_RFKILL_LEDS=n
CONFIG_B43_LEDS=y
CONFIG_B43_RFKILL=y
I still can't enable RFKILL_LEDS because I have no clue as to what else
needs to be enabled :/

Thanks for the clarification. Will probably flash the bios at least to
prevent a future failure.

I will do a bisection then, as the problem is still present.
