Sorry, what do you mean exactly? The persistent stuff seems to work well 
with those notebooks.

Ok, in the meantime I'm going to avoid the SW_RFKILL_ALL switch event 
forwarding, unless the master_switch_mode=1 is going to be changed to 
honor the stored power state on drivers loading as well, not only when 
moving the "kill all" switch (it seems that on boot every device is 
always turned on, which is very annoying).
