actually, I was trying to figure out why software rfkill overrides 
hardware rfkill when the card is not inbuilt with the laptop. have not 
tested with all the cards.
i have tested with ath9k and another one, where i can simply unblock 
with software unblock command even though the card is hardblocked. this 
does not seems to be the case when the card is inbuilt(i tested with in 
an inbuilt iwlagn in lenovo, it works properly). not sure its driver 
bug, i need to verify ath9k card that comes inbuilt with the laptop. if 
you have any thoughts please let me know. i dont have the complete 
understanding of rfkill. thought of doing more ground work before 
asking. thanks.
