on my NB it works but sure you *NEED* the driver loaded in order to work, to 
be more precise you need the driver to *see* the effect

you say YOUR led is blinking or is on or off when running freebsd?
if not the led definitly is blinking when not connected and stays on when 
associated and of after pressing the button
on FreeBSD the LED is *not* working at all

yes, ok, on my I can, the driver is loaded I can switch it off by pressing the 
button

I never used launchmanager and the WL button works independent here

ok, mine is broadcom, dont know about the ATH device, how do you changed it? 
You do not mean you are using a ATH PCMCIA card are you?

you can see the button code with xev in X
