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.
