Got this fairly new laptop(skylake based) where the rfkill switch works. I can see the kernel(4.4.6)
bringing wifi up and down whenever I toggle rfkill, also:
~ # rfkill list
0: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
1: hci0: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
<Press rfkill and ...>
~ # rfkill list
0: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: yes
Hard blocked: no
1: hci0: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: yes
Hard blocked: no
However, the rfkill LED stays white ALL the time.
Used wifi firmware:
? iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: loaded firmware version 16.242414.0 op_mode iwlmvm
