That's because the eee firmware gives us no control over which device is unplugged. I think you're missing the point of how the eee rfkill code works - we don't unplug any devices, the firmware does that. We then need to tell Linux that the PCI device has vanished in order to prevent drivers from attempting to use a piece of hardware that's no longer accessible. -- Matthew Garrett | mjg59@srcf.ucam.org
