The first thing I noticed is that "radio" gets truncated to "rad", thus=
 the file
is /sys/class/leds/b43legacy-phy0\:\:rad/trigger, with contents "none i=
de-disk
ADP1-online BAT0-charging-or-full BAT0-charging BAT0-full phy0rx phy0tx
phy0assoc phy0radio [(]". I unloaded and reloaded the driver and found =
that the
"[(]" characters changed to "[=EF=BF=BDW[=EF=BF=BD]". It appears that s=
omething is putting
garbage in that file.
