What it does is if the device exposes a hw rfkill key, export that key as an input device, as well as using it to report the state change. So there are three main entry points: wimax_report_rfkill_hw() -- device driver report to stack device reports a change in the hw rfkill key; switch the radio to whichever state AND report a key event through the input layer wimax_report_rfkill_sw() -- device driver report to stack device reports a change in the sw rfkill state; this is needed for cases where the radio is shared amongst different technologies (wifi and wimax, for example, in the case of the 5150). When you turn on Wifi, WiMAX switches off (and vice versa). As well, if from SW you flip it off, this gets called back but does nothing as the state is updated already. wimax_rfkill / wimax_rfkill_toggle_radio -- user interface The user wants to flip the SW switch on/off -- Inaky -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
