It looks like this model is rather different, maybe not a Wistron design
at all.

I would prefer you to test against Linux 3.0, but it appears that the
model detection has not changed since 2.6.26.

Please build and test the attached driver (make && insmod
amilo-rfkill.ko).  It provides a standard rfkill device which you can
control with e.g. the 'rfkill' command, and will only bind to specific
models.

If this works, I'll submit the code upstream.

Ben.
