The good news: There is a workaround: Installing Windows Vista/2008/7 (Windows XP/... does NOT work!), installing wlan driver + installing hotkey drivers, then pushing FN+F2 button on keyboard, to enable WLAN. Luckily the hardware remembers that the WLAN is switched even after reboots/power-off, and that way, it works with Linux. So obviously, the hardware rf-kill is software/driver dependent, not really done in hardware. I will try to figure out, which driver exactly does the rf-kill, and how it does it.
