I'm not able to detect my AP with a Dell 1390 mini-pci using bcm43xx
I appreciate that the driver is under very heavy development at the
moment, and I'm willing to try the bcm43 if that will help.
Details follow:
The Acer Aspire 3680 contains the following (lspci -v)

I built a 2.6.21 kernel from debian, with the combined_2.6.21.patch from
lwfinger.dynalias.org
I got the v3 firmware wl_apsta-3.130.20.0.o and used fwcutter to create
the .fw files in /lib/firmware

The "radio disabled by hardware" looks like a problem to me ?
