Just to bring it to the point: We initialize a huge wireless MAC, PHY and Radio that consume several watts of power just to poll a silly RF-kill bit. We can't we just accept that the RF-kill status is unknown while the device is down? I really do hate all that rfkill crap and I'm still refusing to sign off on anything that's related to rfkill (like I did for the past year or so). If people want this merged, somebody else maintain and sign it off, please. -- Greetings, Michael. -- 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
