My Thinkpad T410 sends EV_SW_RADIO events when I flip the switch. Odd
again -- seems the machines I have send events, and the ones you have
don't :)

What I also note about my Thinkpad is that it only has a single rfkill
device, whereas most ACPI/WMI drivers create an additional device (why
they do this puzzles me). But on my Eee PC I note that if I use rfkill
to only block/unblock the phy0 device, it takes a while to notice the
block but starts to connect immediately upon unblocking. So maybe the
problem relates to having multiple rfkill devices without any events?
Just taking a guess.
