Hi Larry,

-----------------

I'd never used it before, but apparently this laptop has a radio
enable/disable bound to Fn+F2.  Toggling this function and reloading b43
doesn't seem to make a difference (same dmesg), so I don't know if the
key combination is being detected correctly.

Thanks for the background information.  Of course I want to help to get
b43 working rather than using a deprecated driver.

regards,
Ben
