2. trigger enable button. nothing happen. doing that couples of time still the wireless can't be enabled.
3. with the button enabled I've reloaded b43 module. then is entering in a loop like in the log and is stopping only when i trigger disable and then enable button.

Did you ever try a 2.6.29 kernel?  I'm curious if it was broken there as well?
Comment 3 Biru Ionut 2009-06-12 15:38:08 UTC 
yes. i had tried that version and was broken there too.
