I confirm that workaround is working on my laptop. After booting with
"noexec=off" loading module "wistron_btns" didn't cause system crash.
After that wifi is turned on. Driver detect also special wifi key on
keyboard which now is able to turn on/off wifi card. Special wifi diode
is also working.
Michal, you should try the workaround using the wistron_btns kernel
module and not with the amillo-rfkill. The amillo-rfkill does not
support your hardware (as per your comment #16).
The wistron_btns, on the other hand, implements the same functionality
as the old fsam7400, so it should work fine
Ok, I will wait for amilo-rfkill and try to use workaround.

Michal, the fsam7400 will have the exact same problem with recent
kernels. This module is unmaintained and has been replaced either by
the amilo-rfkill or by the wistron_btns modules.
The issue with the wistron_btns is known, as it uses an ugly hack to
invoke BIOS code directly. Since the memory

Loading module "wistron_btns" caused kernel crash.
Maybe those bugs are not connected to remove of fsam7400 module but it
is causing that I can't use my wi-fi card. I'm disapointed. Also very
bad that bug #979253 isn't fixed from april 2012. Maybe "fsam7400"
should be restored?

Ok, I should have also mentioned module 'wistron_btns'. The existence
of these two modules (wistron_btns and amilo-rfkill) are the actual
reason for having the (unmaintained) fsam7400 module removed. Could you
please try it? Thanks.

Michal, have you tried the new amilo-rfkill kernel module? It should
have the same functionalities as the fsam7400 module.
