I think there's another reversal error that you didn't notice :-).  I found that acer-wmi disables the wireless when it is loaded.

The core tries to initialize the wireless to enabled, but the polarity is wrong in acer_rfkill_set().  It ends up disabling the wireless instead.

Here's a patch for it.

Fix another polarity error introduced by the rfkill rewrite,
this time in acer_rfkill_set().
