Reviewed the dmesg everything looks fine. rfkill entry is gone and no longer block wireless.
The patch is tested on LKML[1] and so far seems everyone is happy with it. I will backport this patch to oneiric/precise after merged into Linus' kernel. The problem is not totally solved. Wireless connectivity is still not available. Possible reason is EC still remember that soft block on wireless. Since acer-wmi and thinkpad-acpi do not have wireless capability, there is no way to unblock it. One possible way to unblock it is to remove the battery/AC for 30min and reset BIOS to factory default.
