Yes, of course.

I re-checked it, and "echo 0 > /sys/class/rfkillX/state" indeed works, 
whereas "cat /sys/class/rfkillX/state" doesn't. The latter always 
returns 1, independent of the actual state. With the former 2.6.28 patch 
the results reflected the state correctly.

While we are at it, would it be possible to get different ACPI events 
from the wireless switch, depending on the state (on / off)? That would 
make the corresponding ACPI script much simpler.

Greetings,
Bernd
