And pressing it again gets this:

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: yes
	Hard blocked: no

And after that I cant get wireless back until I again do a:
./rfkill unblock 2
(works only when acer-wireless is no/no and Wireless LAN is yes/no)
Right. This is bad. The button press shouldn't have affected the
soft-state of the rfkill #2.

Applying this patch:
[PATCH] rfkill: fix rfkill_set_states() to set the hw state
sent by Alan Jenkins does not help this issue either...

Any  suggestions how to fix the rfkill ?
I'll poke at the acer code to see what it's doing wrong...

Can't see anything wrong. I wonder if the button you have sends both the
ACPI event _and_ an input event.

Can you try this patch and tell us what happens?


pressing rfkill when I have a working wireless gets this:

After that I only get (when pressing rfkill several times...):
Jul 17 02:30:16 tmb-laptop klogd: rfkill_schedule_toggle(1)
Jul 17 02:30:16 tmb-laptop klogd: __rfkill_handle_normal_op(1, 1) [0]

And no wireless network...

Issuing ./rfkill unblock 2 gets the wireless back
