Right. There's been quite a bit of activity on this front recently, and I think there will be a workable solution in the one of the next kernel versions (2.6.21 or later). NetworkManager will then require some support from HAL, but with that we should be able to have a unified handler for rfkill. Right now, we're not handling rfkill because there's no way we're going to pollute the code with 6 driver-specific rfkill procedures. Plus there's usually no way to detect that rfkill switches have been pressed besides polling the driver, which is wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong.
