Nope.
Nothing gets logged when I press the rfkill...

I'd say that the rfkill rewrite killed my wireless :-(

Bluetooth works at it whould, but not the wireless

But now I have atleast found one way to get it working...

I've built the rfkill utility, and with it I can get the wireless working...

Thanks for the analysis!

Here is the output when wireless works:
[root@tmb-laptop rfkill]# ./rfkill list
0: acer-wireless: Wireless LAN
	Soft blocked: no
	Hard blocked: no
1: acer-bluetooth: Bluetooth
	Soft blocked: yes
	Hard blocked: no
2: phy0: Wireless LAN
	Soft blocked: no
	Hard blocked: no

Makes sense that it works at this point :)

Pressing the rfkill button gets me this:
[root@tmb-laptop rfkill]# ./rfkill list
0: acer-wireless: Wireless LAN
	Soft blocked: yes
	Hard blocked: no
1: acer-bluetooth: Bluetooth
	Soft blocked: yes
	Hard blocked: no
2: phy0: Wireless LAN
	Soft blocked: no
	Hard blocked: yes

So far so good. Your platform's soft-switch is wired to the card's hard
kill line. Mind trying

	./rfkill unblock 0

(or whatever ID the acer-wireless has) at this point to see what
happens? I would hope it goes back to the working state.


Nothing happends...

It does not change anything on either acer-wireless or phy0
