Details

Description:
Using a Thinkpad X201, I have configured the RFKILL support according to netcfg's wiki entry in /etc/network.d/interfaces/wlan0 to read:
RFKILL=hard
RFKILL_NAME='phy0'

However, when I try to establish a connection with these settings, netcfg _always_ returns:
> radio is disabled on wlan0

My switch is definitly not disabling the connection. rfkill reports:
$ rfkill list all
0: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
1: tpacpi_bluetooth_sw: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
3: hci0: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no

This would red yes in all cases if the switch was enabled (checked and confirmed on my machine).


Additional info:
netcfg 2.6.8-1
Network I am trying to connect to has _no_ encryption!

All necessary info given above; if needed, I can provide files (if you tell me which).

Steps to reproduce:
Configure RFKILL support for the interface, try to connect to a network > fails.
This task depends upon
