Does anyone have a laptop with a slide switch (definite on/off positions) and is
using b43? If so, are the "ENABLED" and "DISABLED" messages logged when you move
the switches? What kernel are you using?
The mini-PCIe slot in my laptop is broken, and I need to use an extender, thus I
cannot do the test myself.
Thanks,
Larry

If you're not too fat fingered, you can probably modify your extender to add a switch
or jumper (or loose wire ;) that pulls pin20 to GND with a resistor or floats it.
That should emulate the rfkill input signal to the wireless device.

If someone sends me a .11n mini-PCIe I will not only test this but
also use it every day and report any problems. :)

As noone responded, I'll try to turn on my half-dead (head less) old
Acer notebook. It has mini PCI slot, so I'll able to test it with
BCM4318 anr BCM4322, but it should not make any difference I guess.
