Continuing Synaptic Touchpad issues

Unfortunately, I'm headed out of town on Friday so this is a "seagull
comment" (fly in, crap all over the place, then leave) but I just
managed to get my Synaptics Touchpad working on an HP Pavilion zv6015
with test 3 x86_64. The *really dumb* trick turned out to be to
recompile the kernel with psmouse as a module. Doing a simple "modprobe
-r psmouse" followed by a "modprobe psmouse" is sufficient to find the
Synaptics touchpad. It then appears to work in both text (gpm) and
X-windows.
Now if somebody has any advice as to getting the wireless NIC (Broadcom
4306) working when the radio seems to be stuck in the "off" mode, let me
know. I'm using ndiswrappers and the driver appears to load with no
problems but I'm pretty sure the radio is "off" and seems to want to
remain off despite anything I've tried. If all else fails, next trick
is to try installing wine and seeing if I can get the windows controls
to let me turn it on.
Cheers
