looks like that you don't know what a kill switch related with a notebook
and WLAN is. It's a tiny button at the laptop you can press and it enables
or disables the WLAN chipset. Unfortunately this feature is triggered by
software and the original bcm43xx-mac80211 isn't able to enable this switch
to turn on WLAN functionality. This only work via ndiswrapper. This also
should explain, why I've to use nice things from Livna.

Ouch...WPA2/AES is no driver, it's a method (sloppy said). What do I have
in a wrapper?

What do you would like to see exactly?

LOL - sorry. There is a difference between unencrypted WLAN and WPA2/AES -
it's not just setting up the password(s)...
