+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Since the last little while (I think since kernel 2.6.38) the rfkill
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> switch on my laptop doesn't work too well.
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> [...]
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> So I'm a little stumped.
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Anyone else get this problem?
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Weird...
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> iwlagn : Intel Corporation|PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN [Kedron]
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Network Connection [NETWORK_OTHER] (vendor:8086 device:4229 subv:8086
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> subd:1101) (rev: 61)
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> I have this same, I'll test tonight/tomorrow...
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> I found this which seems like a likely candidate for a fix...

+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> but it's from February... is it really not in the .38.x kernel yet??
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> That patch got merged in 2.6.38-rc1, so it is there.
+</I>
+It seems (after a chat with upstream) that this patch may be the culprit:
+
+<A HREF="http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.38.y.git;a=commit;h=a3d77411e8b2ad661958c1fbee65beb476ec6d70">http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.38.y.git;a=commit;h=a3d77411e8b2ad661958c1fbee65beb476ec6d70</A>
+
+It certainly sounds like it could be and may explain why you don't see
+it (if you don't have this module).
+
+I'll try blacklisting it to see if that helps....
