Sorry but it's still a bit confusing to me so taking a step back - on a stock XPS with the non-SRU version, what keycode do you get in xev - on a stock cosmic what happens when you use the key - does that command works to get out of airplane mode?

This introduces the RFKill key: https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives /wayland-devel/2017-August/034721.html - x11-proto needs a new release.
