So it means tht it happens only on laptops where the BIOS has not been
updated, right.
Anyway, I have pushed some changes to the git repository so that you
can give the module paramter
alt_rfkill=1
which will use this alternative method of quering.
If someone can test the current git sources on one of those laptops
that wouold be fine.

I was thinking that if it is model specific one can check the model, but
as far as I understood this is a question of age of bios.
Thanks a lot
