Yes initial rfkill introduction went through wireless, but subsequent patches
seemed to have gone directly into net-2.6.
I must admit I am not sure what the correct flow for rkfill should be. :S

I am going to setup a rfkill git tree from where rfkill can be managed,
but I still had to look into the correct git tree to branch from.

We should sort out how the rfkill patch flow should go,
directly into net-2.6 or to wireless-2.6/wireless-testing
Although rfkill is a wireless tool, one could argue that linux-wireless
is mostly aimed at the 802.11 protocol, whereas rfkill applies to
irda and bluetooth as well.
