S6410, S6420 & E8410 all have the one global kill switch on the front.
It seems only the BIOS allows disabling individual radios.

I do believe the S7020 is similar in this respect. It has a global
all-or-nothing switch with no software override. I need to see the DSDT
to be sure, but I'm quite certain I can get an on/off status from it
like on mine.

Alright. S6410 testing might still be useful once the code is out there
though. Most of my colleagues prefer to stay on a stable kernel and
don't have a C toolchain to hand.

Yes please. That one is new to me :)
