It interests me that in attached rfkill.txt contains no rfkill interface for wifi.

Found that /etc/acpi/events/ibm-wireless and /etc/acpi/ibm-wireless.sh also toggle wifi.
It calls toggleAllWirelessStates() in /usr/share/acpi-support/state-funcs, in which describes several sysfs nodes to look for wifi rfkill status.

Guess is good also to check if these nodes presented:

  /sys/class/net/wlan0/phy80211/rfkill*/state
  /sys/class/net/wlan0/device/rfkill/rfkill*/state
  /sys/class/net/wlan0/device/power/state
  /sys/class/net/wlan0/device/rf_kill

In ubuntu-maverick/ubuntu/rtl8192se/Makefile, CONFIG_RTL_RFKILL is not currently defined. Could be a possible solution if -D it works.
