I'm on 2.6.31-rc8 or so. I can't actually reproduce this on a d630. I
get all of the rfkill devices populated.
$ rfkill list

$ sudo rmmod iwl3945 iwlcore dell-laptop
$ rfkill list
$ sudo modprobe dell-laptop
$ rfkill list

There *is* a problem here that the hardware killswitch status doesn't
get updated, but Matthew is aware of that. Make sure you're not getting
false data because of it.
