Ok, with only acer-wmi loaded (wifi is connected) i toggled the wifi 
switch a couple of times. Trying as fast as possible...no problem, 
system didn't crash. After finally switching to "on" wifi connected again.

With acer-wmi AND idepad-laptop loaded i tried the same as above. Again, 
no crash. After switching finally to "on" wifi connected again.

I noticed a message from acer-wmi (has nothing to do with the tests 
above): acer-wmi prints a message to kernel message log about every second:

[28907.045046] acer_wmi: acer_rfkill_update state: 1

Is this debugging output? For the final version it should be disabled.
