I'd say the drivers (b43) should try to load and pin the module. Failure to do so should not interrupt loading the driver and registering the rfkill switch, though.

rfkill-input is not automatically loaded
Ivo and Dmitry, I have finally figured out why the b43 rfkill LED handling routine works on some systems, and not on others. It works as long as rfkill-input is built-in, or if the module is loaded, but this module is not automatically loaded even though rfkill.ko has been loaded, and rfkill->toggle_radio points to a valid routine. Of course, that routine is never called. I'm sure there is a way to force loading of this module, but I have not figured it out. I would appreciate any pointers.
