No, but for some reasons it now changes within 1 sec.!

Being a notorious KDE hater, I don't even know what knetworkmanager is. 
I simply wrapped the wlan change into a script which shuts down and 
restarts network. That works perfectly.

But I have another question: What are the relationships between the 
rfkill states and /sys/devices/platform/sony-laptop/wwanpower and 
.../bluetoothpower? Will writing 0 into wwanpower have the same effect 
as writing 0 into the corresponding rfkill file?

Greetings,
Bernd
