For rfkill, if I remember correctly I based on rtl8187B_linux_26.1036.0708.2008 release (the one which only used rfkill_mask == 0x2), and verified on one of the more recent rtl8187L releases to see if was the same. But the initial driver was based on a release previous to rtl8187B_linux_26.1033.0611.2008, that was available for a quanta il1 machine on the web (tarball show release date == 2007-09-19) The old release rtl8187_linux_26.1025.0328.2007 doesn't have code to check RF switch state, so may be the windows driver doesn't have it too, and may be that's why it doesn't have the problem. > > I had to build a new Windows XP system in a virtual machine.
