So the rf_kill interface *exists* for asus wireless, but doesn't correctly perform its sole function?

Shouldn't this be treated as a bug in the kernel driver, and fixed there, before trying to pile on further workarounds in the asus-specific scripts? I expect this would be fixed in a later kernel version anyway, possibly breaking any workarounds that are implemented now.
