The main intention was that user space programs might want to listen to rfkill events in order to bring the interface up once the killswitch is disabled. AFAIK NetworkManager takes an interface down once it recognises that the device is disabled through a killswitch. If the device is not able to notify a rfkill state change if it is down NM cannot recognise when the device can be brought up again. Dan, is that correct?
