I'd like to have a certain response for this. Can you test, and assert whether it is a rfkill line or not? And, if it IS a rfkill line, I still need to know if it is flip-flop-like or not... I am not certain I got the right idea (I understood it was NOT flip-flop-like). -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them. One disk to bring them all and in the darkness grind them.
