I'll have to hack my bios before I send this card over. Yes, I tried blacklisting the proprietary wl on kernel 3.17 and rebooting. Messed a bit around, I could scan for networks, but wasn't able to connect to any of them. I sent a mail about that earlier to the b43 list; got no response (possibly someone forgot to use reply all).
