Hi, I have 14e4:4315 on my Dell Studio 1735, I'm running gentoo with
2.6.33.2
kernel and b43-firmware-4.150.10.5. Driver works great but I have problem
with
rfkill.

I had enabled rfkill in my kernel
> $ grep RFKILL /usr/src/linux/.config
> CONFIG_RFKILL=y
> CONFIG_RFKILL_LEDS=y
> CONFIG_RFKILL_INPUT=y
> # CONFIG_TOSHIBA_BT_RFKILL is not set

My laptop has 2-positional hardware switch for wifi, when I toggle it off. I
get
following in dmesg:
> b43-phy0: Radio hardware status changed to DISABLED
> wlan0: deauthenticating from 00:23:69:2f:3f:01 by local choice (reason=3)
> b43-phy0: Radio turned on by software
> b43-phy0: The hardware RF-kill button still turns the radio physically
off. Press the button to turn it on.

Also wifi led turns off.

Then I turn it back on and get:
> b43-phy0: Radio hardware status changed to ENABLED

But wifi remains non-functional until I reboot. Wifi led is turned off until
I
reboot also.

If turn switch on/off several times I get:
> b43-phy0: Radio hardware status changed to DISABLED
> b43-phy0: Radio hardware status changed to ENABLED
> b43-phy0: Radio hardware status changed to DISABLED
> b43-phy0: Radio hardware status changed to ENABLED

But wifi still is not working.
