Subject: Re: [PATCH][v2] asus-rbtn: new driver for asus radio button for
 Windows 8

Thanks for the support.  I will create v3 based with LED triggers.

Just for information.  ASUS's wording is as below:

Fn+F2 can be used to turn on or off all radio capabilities in the
device (as known as airplane mode switch).  I don't have any
preferences on the name.  We may use the term airplane-mode do if
asus-rbtn is not preferred.  Let me know if there are any suggestions.
