Now, after doing once Fn+F2 to disable the device(s):
# rfkill list

Hard blocked: yes

Another press of Fn+F2 enables both at once:

BIOS A09 here, linux-3.4-rc7.
Just do not know why I still get those "Unknown key pressed" messages:
[ 2652.048353] atkbd serio0: Unknown key pressed (translated set 2, code 0x88 on isa0060/serio0).
[ 2652.048363] atkbd serio0: Use 'setkeycodes e008 <keycode>' to make it known.

...cut...
