Hi,
I'm sorry for the long delay but I can use the laptop only on weekend.
Here is the output:

# modprobe wistron_btns force=1
FATAL: Error inserting wistron_btns
(/lib/modules/2.6.26-2-686/kernel/drivers/input/misc/wistron_btns.ko):
No such device
It looks like this model is rather different, maybe not a Wistron design
at all.

I would prefer you to test against Linux 3.0, but it appears that the
model detection has not changed since 2.6.26.

Please build and test the attached driver (make&&  insmod
amilo-rfkill.ko).  It provides a standard rfkill device which you can
control with e.g. the 'rfkill' command, and will only bind to specific
models.

If this works, I'll submit the code upstream.

Ben.

Hi Ben,
Thank you for your code!

Before I built the module (Kernel 2.6.32) I had to insert the include line #include <asm/io.h> ( -> inb()-function ?)
With Kernel 2.6.26 I couldn't even built the module.

But loading of the module failed:
# insmod amilo-rfkill.ko
insmod: error inserting 'amilo-rfkill.ko': -1 No such device

In kernel 2.6.32 exists /dev/rfkill but

# rfkill list
0: phy0: Wireless LAN
   Soft blocked: no
   Hard blocked: yes

# rfkill unblock all

# rfkill list
0: phy0: Wireless LAN
   Soft blocked: no
   Hard blocked: yes

doesn't work here. Nothing changed.

Thanks,
Tino
