There are indeed both rfkill udev events and SW_EV SW_RFKILL_ALL input events. I couldn't find any documentation how to use input device events for triggering scripts except using crazy udev key mappings. Using rfkill udev rules works fine.

No need to patch it then. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe platform-driver-x86" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
