Hi,
I got lockdep warnings about possible circular lock with
b43 interface startup. It looks like a real problem.

Yes, I introduced this bug and fixed it. The latest wireless-testing
should have the fix. In addition, it is on its way to Linus through
DameM. Unfortunately, that fix has another bug that will not show up
in the logs. With it, it is impossible to turn the radio back on after
it is killed via the rfkill switch. A "final" (And I hope that is
true!) fix is out for testing; however, the OP for the bug that
started this whole chain only has limited access to the machine in
question.

I believe this is already taken care of by Larry.
