I only wanted to point out that the current code is not sufficient in my case and I want to help to get it fixed. > What laptop do you have?

By WMI you mean Windows Management Instrumentation? I have WinXP dualboot so the Windows driver probably supports that if present. -- Antti PS. I contacted Realtek again and this morning I had data sheets for RTL8187B and RTL8187L chipsets in my inbox, yay!. I didn't have time to look deeply in to them just yet, but at quick glance the data sheets didn't talk anything about rfkill. My fear is that the rfkill features are laptop vendor specific by being implemented using the General Purpose IO pins, but this speculation is still premature.
