Ideally asus_laptop would handle the wapf value _itself_.  You shouldn't
have to do anything.  There's really no excuse in 2007 to have to
specify this sort of thing manually.  The bug should likely be filed
against asus_laptop upstream, or if it's in the kernel, kernel bugzilla.
Furthermore, the asus_laptop module should support the rfkill framework
that's already in the kernel in 2.6.23.  Not a rant at you or anything,
just at asus_laptop not Just Working.
