    Hi Everybody,

    I have a curious goings on after an update to my WiFi driver today from MS.

    I'm successfully running dual boot Win7 and MAC OSX (10.5.6 - Voodoo), and have upgraded my WiFi card to a Broadcom BCM4321, as this works with Mac and is also a N class device making everything go really fast :D (Not technical I know)

    Anyway, this evening I noticed an update came through the Win 7 auto update offering a driver update, so I thought hell why not, upgraded and everything seems fine. So I thought, why not try the switch and ensure everything works, well the switch disabled wireless instantly, but the WIFI light came on... Very odd, I suddenly think this is interesting (the light hasn't worked since installing the new Wifi card). So I hit the switch again, literally instantaneously Wireless networks appear again and the light goes out. So, I seem to have excellant WiFi results, but strange goings on with the light.

    Has anyone struck this before? Or something similar? Or have a Broadcom BCM4321 driver that enables the light?
