I placed sixth in the world finals of the ACM Collegiate programming contest in 1999, Cal Poly Team Gold. ( http://icpc.baylor.edu/past/icpc99/Finals/Tour/Win/Win.html , I'm the guy all the way to the right. ) I ported the 2.4 kernel to a custom ppc platform, including writing drivers for various hardware on it ( http://patinc.com ). I'm the guy who did all the software for a linux-based Voice over IP call center ( http://broncocommunications.com/ ). So, *now* do you believe I'm not an idiot? To answer your question, it requests the rfkill-input module. But under the version I'm trying, rfkill-input is not automatically loaded. I've pointed to the mailing list URL that proves that. So, I loaded rfkill and rfkill-input by hand. Perhaps rfkill wasn't necessary, I don't know, and I don't care. But once I did that, *then and only then* did your damn b43 driver start printing out any messages to dmesg at all, which then let me download the latest firmware, and continue moving forward. I'm saying the patch you signed off on has a side-effect that will fix my issue. And even if I *were* saying that, the most you should take from it is that you are human and sometimes may make mistakes, just like the rest of us. There's nothing challenging in that statement. I've provided the bug report as many ways as I can think to. If you don't agree, then I guess you'll just have to get the bug report from someone else who can figure out exactly how to sugar coat the message so that you'll listen to it. Me, I'm done. --
