Current policy is that the rfkill switch applies to *all* devices of that class. Furthermore, there aren't good kernel-level mechanisms to distinguish which rfkill switches apply to which devices at this time, because there are no strong ties between the switch and the specific wifi device. It's a combination of technical issues that can't be easily solved, and policy decisions to make things less complicated for everyone. Unfortunately, this won't be fixed for a while. |
