Here is something interesting I found: When I disable WLAN before a reboot, the system comes up with neither eth0 nor wlan0 and when I press Fn+F2, it enables only eth0. Then lspci shows only AR8121/AR8113/AR8114 with no trace of WLAN. but rfkill list all shows 0: eeepc-wlan: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no
Also, when I rfkill block 1, wlan goes off and I can re-enable it with rfkill unblock 0 && ifup wlan0
The eeepc-wlan rfkill interface must be created by the ACPI modul. Let us gather the info and report it to upstream. I have AR5211 [1] in IBM TP40 with 2.6.34-rc3-3-default installed. These modules are loaded [2] and rfkill interfaces [3] created. The killswitch states [4] [5] shows the the Fn-F5 toggle. This is complete mess.

We can cut&paste it to [99]. If there are any BIOS options it would be good to know them either.
