Wael, Could you please help us debug this issue? Unfortunately none of the bugs reported about this issue (http://bughost.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1454 and https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=432264) have any debugging output. Please reopen bug http://bughost.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1454 and add debugging (loading module with debug=0x43fff) to your report to help us find out what happens on your system when the driver loads as well as when you change the rfkill settings.
