acer-wmi: check the existence of internal wireless device when set
capability
That will be better to check the existence of internal wireless device
when we set wireless capability and generate killswitch for it. It can
avoid userland access wireless rfkill but the machine doesn't have internal
wireless device.
Tested on Acer Travelmate 8572

For Precise, please help check if the kernel package with the patch
fixes (http://people.canonical.com/~lexical/bugs/lp888219-precise/)
For Oneiric, Ike Pan will post the backport patch upstream. Once seen I
will help to make another deb for Oneric.
