Yeup, no luck.  I let it sit OFF for > 4 hours.  I booted it up, and no
luck, no wireless.  The switch is as far to the right as it will go (I'm
assuming that to the right is ON and to the left is OFF...).  The light
to the right of the switch remains amber (instead of blue when the
wireless was working, but them again, I remember that the LED was amber
right up until I successfully loaded the kmod-wl module.

It seems to be that the module won't load unless the system detects the
chipset, and the system isn't detecting the chipset right now....
