Getting b43 driver to work on hp compaq 6910

[oneman <info@onemanifest.net>]

Hi All,

I'm running Lenny on a HP Compaq 6910p. It has a broadcom wireless  
card that uses the b43 driver. I installed the needed proprietary  
firmware. It doesn't work however. The card is enabled and  
subsequently disabled. From the syslog:

Dec 29 20:34:36 mrorange kernel: [   27.364410] b43-phy0: The  
hardware RF-kill button still turns the radio physically off. Press  
the button to turn it on.

However, there is no hardware button to my knowledge on this machine  
(the card is an internal one). There's a lot of info on the web about  
this bug, but no clear solution. Has anyone had any success in  
getting this wireless card running on this machine?


Thx.
