Looking at /var/log/daemon.log does not reveal anything when the rfswitch is toggled, but looking at /var/log/kern.log shows that no matter how many times I toggle the sliding mechanical switch on my acer aspire one, each time the "Radio Frequency Kill Switch" is on. The switch on this netbook is a toggle; it doesnt stay in a position.
