Description:
If you make use of the new rfkill feature, netcfg always reports the radio as disabled. If you are using an soft kill switch netcfg just silently tries to enable radio every time.

This happens because the return output of get_rf_state() is parsed wrong (enable_rf() expects "up" but get_rf_state() returns "enabled").

Additional info:
* netcfg 2.5.2
* make use of the RFKILL feature


Steps to reproduce:
- Set RFKILL="hard"
- Make sure the kill switch is enabled
- netcfg will report the radio as disabled

Fix:
See attachment.
