Thanks a lot!

I tested it on my VGN-Z21VN with kernel 2.6.28.8. Some remarks:

- When setting the hardware switch to 'off', the wireless LED remains on.

- After switching the wireless on again, I can't connect to the 
internet. I have to restart the interface to get it working again (maybe 
that is normal, no idea).

- On my system (Crux 2.5) the rfkill directories are rfkill{0,1,2}, not 
{1,2,3}.

- The Makefile still needs some minor corrections:

--------------------------------------------------------
install:
    mkdir -p $(KDIR)/updates
    cp sony-laptop.ko $(KDIR)/updates/
    depmod -a

uninstall:
    rm $(KDIR)/updates/sony-laptop.ko
--------------------------------------------------------

Personally I would add a "modprobe sony-laptop" to the uninstall target, 
so that the original module is loaded again.

Regards,
Bernd
