        Verified - I tried to compile rfkill as module as you
        recommended (on personal
        e-mail). I had to reload rfkill after startup to have rfkill
        listening. So
        this part looks clear on what happens.
        
        @Joey Lee: There are other strange situations when I have
        rfkill as a module
        and don't have acer-wmi loaded (every second try hci0 rfkill
        is blocked, the
        other try it is unblocked) and more strange situation is when
        acer-wmi gets
        loaded (accidentally I've tried it when the BT hci0 was up and
        running) - the
        BT switch brings hci0 to light after the second press (no
        action on the first
        one), next press switched it off. I was able to reproduce both
        "problems"
        several times with no randomness in it.

Sorry, that was probably caused by the fact that the bluetooth
on-to-off scancode isn't mapped correctly (0xD9 emits brightness-up
instead of bluetooth). I have the updated keymap already, but it
doesn't get loaded automatically cu> this was also the case during my tests. I will try it with the correct
keymap later too.

Cheers,
Oldřich.
 
Yes, I just also simply try, the EC emit key priority is:
	KEY_BLUETOOTH
	KEY_BRIGHTNESSUP
	KEY_BLUETOOTH
	KEY_BLUETOOTH

You are right, maybe the keymaping have problem on speciall acer
notebook, I will also try.


Thank's
Joey Lee
        Cheers,
        Oldřich.
