I haven't sent the thinkpad-acpi rfkill implementation yet.  And I have
not reviewed hp-wmi to check if it is correct.  If it uses the input
polldev, I can give you 100% assurance that it is broken.

You pretty much have to wait for my rfkill patches to get merged before
you can do something right with rfkill and stuff like thinkpad-acpi that
has read/write rfkill registers.

Anyway, if anyone wants to look at the rfkill patches and the
thinkpad-acpi rfkill implementation, which *is* straightforward like
Matthew said, please refer to the thinkpad-acpi git trees at:

git://repo.or.cz/linux-2.6/linux-acpi-2.6/ibm-acpi-2.6.git

branches devel and rfkill.

Note that both branches are in risk of being rebased/rewound, as they
are tips of stgit branches.  Get whatever you need from them, but don't
base anything on them without talking to me first.  rfkill, in
particular, will have to be rebased to the wireless-testing tree soon.

Also, if anyone wants/needs to be added to the cc list for the rfkill
stuff I am trying to get merged (e.g. because you will also need it for
your driver), drop me a note.

I am planning to submit the thinkpad-acpi rfkill conversion only after
the rfkill stuff gets merged in -next or some other tree, but real life
is getting in the way.
