Subject: [PATCH] staging: rtl8192e: Remove call_usermodehelper starting
 RadioPower.sh

Remove call_usermodehelper starting /etc/acpi/events/RadioPower.sh that
is not available. This script is not part of the kernel and it is not
officially available on the www. The result is that this lines are just
dead code.
