I find surprisingly little about the problem by googling. The rfkill interface provided by eeepc-laptop has ACPI and the BIOS WLAN-enabled flag behind it; consequently, toggle this one, and the setting will persist over a reboot. The rfkill interface provided by $WLAN_MODULE is kernel-only. Which is the right one depends on what you want. -- | Darren Salt | linux at youmustbejoking | nr.
