I've tested once again with 2.6.33.1, in single user mode, without
udevd or network-manager running, still behaves the same.
If I remove the thinkpad_acpi module then pressing FN+F5 doesn't
disable the wifi, but I suppose it's because the events are no longer
handled.


BTW
2.6.33 has a KEY_RFKILL in include/linux/input.h .. should I change
that in thinkpad_acpi?
