+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.
