Basically the rfkill event state just depends on the slide switch, regardless of NM (if it is set to enable wireless networking, it just if up the device again; if it is set to disable, it just stayed disable & the device stay down, but the event state continues to respond to the slide switch). -- 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
