I'm not sure I understand the question. The test builds don't include
network manager, they are only kernels.

I guess I was assuming that you verified the oneiric kernel with an
oneiric userspace, but maybe that isn't true. Did you simply install the
oneiric kernel with a natty installation? If that's the case then
network manager would be the same and therefore there must be some
difference between the kernels that causes network manager's misbehavior
(although who exactly is at fault is still unclear).

Either way, the output from 'rfkill list' shows that the fix is doing
what it's supposed to. Any problem with the interaction between the
kernel and network manager would be a separate issue that extends beyond
your specific hardware.
