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.

Description: Current state of the transmitter.
|
|
This file was scheduled to be removed in 2014, but due to its
|
|
large number of users it will be sticking around for a bit
|
|
longer. Despite it being marked as stabe, the newer "hard" and
|
|
"soft" interfaces should be preffered, since it is not possible
|
|
to express the 'soft and hard block' state of the rfkill driver
|
|
through this interface. There will likely be another attempt to
|
|
remove it in the future.
|
|
Values: A numeric value.
|
|
0: RFKILL_STATE_SOFT_BLOCKED
|
|
transmitter is turned off by software
|
|
1: RFKILL_STATE_UNBLOCKED
|
|
transmitter is (potentially) active
|
|
2: RFKILL_STATE_HARD_BLOCKED
|
|
transmitter is forced off by something outside of
|
|
the driver's control.
