Per this log, the 0x1 means your machine have wifi hardware module and
BIOS detected it then write information to SMBIOS area.

But, 
here have problem when acer-wmi driver try to set the state by
WMID_GUID3 method, the wmi function response 0xe2.

Please let me know does there have any wifi module in your machine when
you test? 
If yes, then you need contact with BIOS team for why the WMID_GUID3
method response 0xe2 when set device state, because this function works
find on my TravelMate 8572 machine.

On the other hand,
The following is patch to check the ACER_CAP_WIRELESS before generate
wireless rfkill.


Thank's

Subject: [PATCH] acer-wmi: check wireless capability flag before register rfkill

There will be better to check the wireless capability flag
(ACER_CAP_WIRELESS) before register wireless rfkill because maybe
the machine doesn't have wifi module or the module removed by user.
