Yes, but my understanding is (and I've just rewritten the code, heh) that if the button switches the hardware kill directly then we don't report an input event. Except in very limited circumstances (like the thinkpad-acpi platform driver Henrique explained) I think doing _both_ rfkill_force_state(hard-blocked) [in new API terms: rfkill_set_hw_block(true)] _and_ input_report() is incorrect. johannes
