Ok, this is pretty simple. Id like to know:
1) If I update my wii to v4.3 and install the drivekey, will the drivekey still work?
2) The drivekey will let me play burned wii games from my region only or is it region free?
3) Are there any disadvantages or things I should know before I install it?
Im kind of a noob at drivekeys, I did softmod my wii but I updated it on accident -.- and now the homebrew channel is gone ;-; thats why I want to know these things before I buy and install one. Thanks!

Answers to your questions:

1) If you update the wii your Drivekey will lose it's ability to play out-of-region games
2) A Drivekey is usually region-free, I think you can change it on the chip's dip-switches.
3) I don't think there are any disadvantages, but If you manage to brick on a 4.3, there may not be any recovery, so be careful.

Alternatively you could try softmodding your 4.3 with the guide that was posted here by RastaDave. It's only experimental though, so be careful.
