Title:
  acer_wmi blocks wlan rfkill status to disabled on Acer Aspire 4820TG

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  NetworkManager always reports "Wireless is disabled", and the acer_wmi
  rfkill device in sysfs always reports state=0. Trying to write 1 to
  the rfkill device state doesn't produce errors, but it doesn't produce
  any results either, i.e. the state stays set at 0 and the wireless
  radio stays off. Removing the acer_wmi module removes the rfkill
  device, turning on the wireless radio.

  I also tested this with upstream kernel using the
  2.6.34-020634rc7-generic package from the Kernel Team PPA, with the
  same results.
