Hummm, I doubt that 2.6.31 really works (realiably at least).
The code change required for you to have a working rfkill switch was
introduced in 2.6.33:

sony-laptop: rfkill support for newer models
Vaio Type X and possibly other new models use F135 as the radio
frequency controlling function attached to the SNC device. In the
indexed table this corresponds to 0x0135 (surpise!).

You took the below on 2.6.31 didn't you? :)
