Hear, hear!

That's not to say that the bcm-4311 in my Dell actually works right yet. My latest experience is that the bcm43xx driver works only after bcm34xx-d80211 has been loaded and then unloaded. Evidently the latter code knows more about how to turn the hardware on. In particular, the indicator LED only operates after that driver has been loaded. However, it's the bcm43xx driver that succeeds in communicating with the hub.
