From 4b636dc659ffbca8bc8069dcdf5ae5c2d088a163 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: João Paulo Rechi Vita Date: Mon, 22 Feb 2016 11:36:35 -0500 Subject: rfkill: Move "state" sysfs file back to stable MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit There is still quite a bit of code using this interface, so we can't just remove it. Hopefully it will be possible in the future, but since its scheduled removal date is past 2 years already, we are better having the documentation reflecting the current state of things.
