I don't think the PHY transmission error is caused by the rfkill switch, but I have no idea where it arises. It has been present since I enabled the device with 64-bit DMA. I have not determined how to get rfkill to react to the LED switch, but now that the BCM4311 rev 02 card is working, I should have some time to look at it. Larry
