Only "type 3" sony laptops support the generic "wireless" killswitch.
"type 2" have a bluetooth killswitch only.

On "type 3", you can kill the WWAN in software, but the "wireless kill
switch" is only an input event, you still need the ipw code to kill the
RF (if someone with a type 3 sony laptop could verify...).

Richard, on the S1XP you have, I believe only the Bluetooth power can be
switched.

So unless I'm mistaken, the ipw kill code should stay for Sonys.
