Hi Ben,
Thank you for your code!

Before I built the module (Kernel 2.6.32) I had to insert the include 
line #include <asm/io.h> ( -> inb()-function ?)
With Kernel 2.6.26 I couldn't even built the module.

But loading of the module failed:
# insmod amilo-rfkill.ko
insmod: error inserting 'amilo-rfkill.ko': -1 No such device

In kernel 2.6.32 exists /dev/rfkill but

# rfkill list
0: phy0: Wireless LAN
    Soft blocked: no
    Hard blocked: yes

# rfkill unblock all

# rfkill list
0: phy0: Wireless LAN
    Soft blocked: no
    Hard blocked: yes

doesn't work here. Nothing changed.

Thanks,
Tino
