Created attachment 141197 [details, diff] Fixed signed/unsigned issue in rfkill code.
Created attachment 141199 [details, diff] Missing function compared to submitted patch. Looking at this patch there are two differences between this and the gentoo network manager source. There is a uint32 in the gentoo source that is supposed to be int32, That has been corrected in the first patch, this fixes the problem described in this bug. Also, there is a missing function. I'm not sure if it is needed. I tried disabling and enabling the rfkill switch on my laptop and networkmanager seemed to pick up the changes. without the function
FYI, it would be great to get this fixed before 2.6.24 hits gentoo-sources and many people start using the iwl wireless drivers.
