This is a followup on my attempt to use b43 (now from 2.6.34-rc6) on a HP Pavilion dv6-1300sb. With 2.6.34-rc6, I have not had any boot problem (blocking around ssb/b43) so far. But, dma mode gives an error (like before) and driver now switches automatically to PIO mode (new).

Touching the led switches the hardware blocking on and off, but the led color does not change. I then tried with the broadcom supplied hybrid driver, and there the touch/led functionality works as expected : led is red whenever I touch the button (enabling hardware blocking) or when I issue a rfkill block 0 (enabling software blocking). Led is blue only when both blocking are disabled. But, hybrid driver does not give monitor functionality :( (and of course, also no injection).
