What kind of information do you need ?

As you probably noticed the kernel I'm running is 2.6.38-rc6.

Revelant part of lscpi:

12:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation Device 4727 (rev 01)
	Subsystem: Dell Device 0010
	Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 17
	Memory at fbb00000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
	Capabilities: <access denied>
	Kernel driver in use: brcm80211
	Kernel modules: brcm80211

Do you want me to give it a try ?

My scenario is:

   - set the switch to OFF
   - insmod the module
   - bring up/configure the interface
