[Bug 319825] Re: acer_wmi in Jaunty on Aspire One exposes non-functional (always disabled) rfkill device

[Andy Whitcroft]

@Carlos -- i am happy that the patch achieves what we wanted here.
Getting the Aspire Ones we had seen in the wild working for wireless.
However, if the real issue is that the whole module is useless on that
hardware then it would make more sense for the patch to just blacklist
the whole module.  On expanding the DMI decode match, my personal
preference is to be conservative; to only match those we know about.  I
am loath to blacklist something for a later model and find it does work
there and that we are overruling it.  I do however note you are the
maintainer so I am happy to go whichever way you deem correct.  Let me
know and I'll get you a clean patch in e-mail for merging.
