Generally, if you CC me on acer-wmi questions, I'll answer such e-mails much 
more quickly; I do miss some e-mails on the ACPI list as I am rather busy 
these days.

In theory, yes - supposedly rfkill & rfkill-input can do this.

In practice - I've been unable to get rfkill-input to work properly on my 
laptop (rfkill-input doesn't get registered properly, if I play around with 
it as a module, the button pressing works for a few times, then ends up in a 
nasty on/ off switching loop, unless I start unloading modules).

Whilst I have asked for help on this some time ago in the input mailing list, 
I've heard nothing back yet on that issue.

Until I can resolve that, I'm not pushing any rfkill support into acer-wmi.
