Dang :-) This was the fix.

Thank you for such prompt responses. Although I did this for the b43 driver=
, I=20
ended up progressively having to do the same fix for the drivers for a coup=
le=20
more, ie iwlwifi and rxt200=20

I am not concerned about the rxt200 but the driver I was interested in was =
the=20
iwl4965, so I am not sure that by changing the settings on iwl-rfkill.c I=20
have affected the driver I am using ....


Having said that... the email is brought to you courtesy of the iwl9645 wif=
i=20
device .. which has got to be a Good Thing ;-)

Agree about the proper way of doing things - should really install a newer=
=20
kernel, but I am strapped into an nVidia graphics card on my laptop and the=
=20
livna drivers keep pace well but I think I risk breaking these at the momen=
t=20
with the newer kernel.

Thank you all for your prompt responses and asistance... on a weekend no=20
less :-) I'll monitor progress and contribute whatever little I can as I ge=
t=20
this new laptop settled.

Cheers
