But Florian said the Fn+F5 doesn't work to him, as you said, the _Q2B
works when GWSS is not zero:
Method (_Q2B, 0, NotSerialized) /* wifi key? */
{
Store (0x2B, P80H)
If (LEqual (GWSS, 0x00)) {} /* on issue machine, GWSS is 0 */
Else
{
If (WLPS) /* if have wireless */
{
Store (WRST, WLEN) /* write wireless RF state to EC */
}

I also didn't see any other statement in DSDT touch GWSS.
On the other hand,
I reviewed Florian's following mail:

When system boot, wireless is hard blocked by default.

The acer-wmi will set initial value by call AMW0 wmi method to unblock wireless.

Press hardware switch to off, here have a question:
+ It disabled bluetooth but not wireless?
I thought the wireless works fine when system at this status, even acer-wireless
stay on soft blocked.

Press hardware switch again, here have a question:
+ looks like it enable bluetooth but hard blocked wireless again?

Here a bit not make sense:
+ acer-wmi doesn't touch wireless by AMW0 when it un-probe, but wireless state
set to unblock.
Does that mean current "hardware switch" state is "OFF", but wireless state is unblock?

Here have some questions:
+ Does "hardware switch" on IdeaPad S205 not just control wireless? Does it also control bluetooth?
+ Does "hardware switch" emit any KEY_WIRELESS, KEY_BLUETOOTH or KEY_RFKILL? And rfkill-input works?
I mean: Does this switch only control by BIOS? or actually rfkill-input also touch the killswitch?
Thank's a lot!
