Could you test for rfkill support in kernel 2.6.31-rc2 or a backport of eeepc-laptop, and alter your patch accordingly? It looks like support is present via an rfkill device named "eeepc-wwan3g" (but I can't test this), and that would be the preferred method of handling this: we shouldn't hard-code it for a particular GSM device, we should only be affecting built-in hardware, and it looks like all that'll actually be needed is to report the state. See http://dev.iksaif.net/projects/acpi4asus/wiki/Backport_module for backporting instructions. -- | Darren Salt | linux at youmustbejoking | nr.
