Sorry, they were down, when wlan0 is up:

Is there a way to verify that rfkill really is disabled? I've compiled the 
linux kernel
with "CONFIG_RFKILL is not set" is that enough?

However, the radios aren't totally dead. With calibration debug turned on, I 
can see the
noise floor changing when I attach/remove the antenna. So the radio doesn't 
seem to be
completely dead, just almost.

If it's to any help, the system is a small embedded platform (ARM big-endian) 
running a
openEmbedded linux dist. That might mean that I'm missing some vital support 
software,
hotplug, udev etc, but could something like that really stop the communication 
completely?

Regards,
Mattias

That may be the case - can you make sure rfkill is disabled?

Also txpower is 0 above, is that with the interface up?
