Hi,

The same here. After an update yesterday - oct. 6th - the radio kill switch is 
"out-of-order".  I use an Acer Aspire 3612. 
Current kernel version: 2.6.22-13-generic #1 SMP 

Pressing the radio button give the following output in the syslog:
[ 5978.912000] atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e055 <keycode>' to make it known.
[ 5978.912000] atkbd.c: Unknown key released (translated set 2, code 0xd5 on 
isa0060/serio0).
[ 5978.680000] atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e055 <keycode>' to make it known.
[ 5978.680000] atkbd.c: Unknown key pressed (translated set 2, code 0xd5 on 
isa0060/serio0).

The following log-items suggest that the problem has to do with Broadcom 
wireless card:
[ 6465.300000] bcm43xx: Error: Microcode "bcm43xx_microcode5.fw" not available 
or load failed.
main: error loading '/lib/firmware/bcm43xx_microcode5.fw' for device 
'/class/firmware/0000:06:05.0' with driver 'bcm43xx'

On my other laptop, Acer 5514, no trouble at all. Differences between the two:
Acer 3612
06:05.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 
802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02)

Acer 5514
06:03.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network 
Connection (rev 05)
