Yes, I know that b43legacy is the right module for this device; however, the

dmesg | grep b43

will work for both b43leagacy and b43, which is why I use that form.

I looked at that mail again. Have you figured out how to get your radio switch on?

There are no developers that are working on b43legacy. Whenever a bug is found
in b43, I will propagate it to b43legacy, but that is the extent of development.

Unfortunately, none of us have a card with an RFKILL switch that uses b43legacy.
Without hardware in hand, debugging is too difficult. You will need to put
printk statements in your copy of the driver to find out where it fails.
