This bug is not nearly important enough to be SRUed, it's a corner case.

  When attempting to activate b43 driver, jockey disables input, acting as
  if it is busy.  It never responds.  When activating STA, jockey
  immediately returns, but the STA entry isn't marked as highlighted.
  lsmod shows b43 as loaded, but I have no wireless functions in net-man:
  
  jfro...@medusa:~$ lsmod | grep b43
