The radio firmware controls basic low-level functions like network connectivity, Wi-Fi, and GPS. For several years, though, "radio" means "baseband", and controls network connectivity aspects only, while WiFi and GPS are governed by OS drivers, like any other devices.
Usually upgrading your radio will not give you any new features but will fix connectivity ...

Those are the same radio. the file name is just different. notice the version number in both is: 2.22.19.26i. The first update-script was modified a bit so it supports both the dream (adp1/g1), and the magic (adp2). The OTA radio looks like it was specifically for the dream.
I, myself, would use the one that is for both the dream & magic, but really, ...

Make sure your phone is powering off completely before you try to boot into the bootloader. For a DHD you might need to go into Settings > Applications and uncheck the "FastBoot" option in order for it to power down completely (source).
If #1 doesn't help, try turning your phone off, then pulling the battery. After you've pulled the battery and waited a ...

Get the ODIN package from here. Then use ODIN to restore to "True" Factory Stock. This will put you back to stock (but will not reset your flash counter). Then from there you can start and use ODIN to root the device again, flash CWM and flash custom ROMs. The modem/radio you linked to should be the radio that you will want to flash if you flash an N7100 ...

You do not want to do that.
From my understanding, flashing an older radio than the one you currently have installed is a sure fire way to brick your phone.
Besides, the latest radios are always better. And so long as you are sticking with ICS, it is a very good idea to use the latest radio.
Like ce4 said, flash the radio recommended by whoever is ...

I saw a professional in China unlocking HTC handsets via JTAG. A side effect with the unlock was the S-ON.
The simlock is stored in the Radio NVRAM, is not changeable, but they did the unlock by flashing a patched HBOOT with S-ON and that will report a different simlock status (my unlocked phone still says SIMLOCK in fastboot mode - another proof of that is ...
