The CONFIG_RTL8187 and CONFIG_RTL8187B options are disabled in the config file. Typing "echo 1 > /sys/class/rfkill/rfkill0/state" does nothing, even when the kernel is reconfigured with those drivers enabled.

I guess something may have been broken from 2.6.39 or 3.0, because I
have no enough time to continue the maintaining, sorry, hope you can
try 2.6.37 or 2.6.38 from http://bjlx.org.cn/loongson2f/squeeze
instead.
Sorry for my late response.
