Public bug reported:
As of 2.6.27 in intrepid, the iwl3945 and iwl4965 drivers no longer
provide /sys/class/net/$dev/device/rf_kill:
$ ls -ld /sys/class/net/*/device/rf*kill*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 2008-09-08 11:29
/sys/class/net/wlan0/device/rfkill:rfkill1 -> ../../../../class/rfkill/rfkill1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 2008-09-08 11:29
/sys/class/net/wmaster0/device/rfkill:rfkill1 ->
../../../../class/rfkill/rfkill1
$
This is with iwl3945 on my system; mdz has confirmed equivalent behavior
with iwl4965.
The device/rf_kill interface is the one that acpi-support relies on in
order to toggle the antenna state via the soft switch, so I think this
is fairly important to resolve for intrepid. If this interface is
deprecated for 2.6.27, please reassign to acpi-support and let us know
what interface should be used instead for toggling the antenna in
software.
