Comment 22 for bug 857297

My appologis Seth, I think I attached the *.dsl files to the wrong issue. I attached them to the acpi/cdrom bug instead. I did it quickly in about 10 minutes before I left home for work and selected the wrong bug. I'll attach them here now.

I added blacklist acer-wmi to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf but still did not work in the first instance, however after some digging around I deleted the /dev/rfkill file also, and when rebooted the rfkill file was recreated and I was able to then turn on wireless with the FN-Wirless key cobmination. Appears to require black list acer-wmi as you suggested as well as the deletion of the rfkill file as the workatound, so thanks for pointing me in the direction.
