The rfkill core has no concept of what the underlying hardware
implementation is. The fact that you can see the card at all is a bug
triggered by the fact that we don't currently support PCIe hotplug on
this type of machine (I've just sent a patch that adds a workaround for
that), but the inherent reason for it happening this way is because Asus
implemented it that way in their platform.
