Ehud, One possibility that I didn't think about before is that your LED mapping in the SPROM has some quirk that is not handled properly. Please run the following two commands SSB_SPROM=$(find /sys -name ssb_sprom) sudo cat $SSB_SPROM sprom.txt and mail me the file sprom.txt that results.

We worked out the SPROM is the same... but here are some interesting twists. When switched off 1. The LED is switched off by hardware, not b43 2. B43 does send the event as expected but the LED is already off When switch on 1. The LED is not switched on by hardware 2. B43 does send the event as
