Wireless problems on Dell Mini 10v

The computer is a Dell Mini 10v.
I've followed the wiki post on the 10v, but it is out of date as the kernel does provide support for the Broadcom 4312.  Installing broadcom_wl is not necessary.
netcfg v2.6.8 and wpa_supplicant v0.7.3

/var/log/everything.log |grep rfkill

Apr 13 13:53:19 localhost kernel: [    6.134743] dell_laptop: Blacklisted hardware detected - not enabling rfkill
Sometimes my machine spits back an rfkill related error rather than wpa authentication errors.

I've been getting crazy errors that seem to be related to my inability to properly configure wpa_supplicant.  My system does connect to wpa and wpa2 encrypted connections from boot, but I'm unable to connect to them manually without getting.

Re: Wireless problems on Dell Mini 10v

The association problems continue.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I hope I've been as clear and to the point as I can possibly be.

Hi..
I'm using Dell Vostro with b43 run wells on me...
