Well, if you really want to get to the bottom of the matter, I need:
1. .config from both of you
2. the output of "grep . /sys/bus/platform/devices/thinkpad_acpi/hotkey_*";
3. the keymap of the thinkpad-acpi input device. On Debian, "lsinput and input-kbd" from package "input-utils" can be used to locate the correct input device and dump its keymap. Other distros have similar input-device utilities, I think.
I guess 2.6.31 has the new rfkill code, and this likely enabled rfkill-input or something.
If you *really* want to make sure fn+f5 will never give you surprises, you either:
1. switch bit 4 off from /sys/bus/platform/devices/thinkpad_acpi/hotkey_mask
or
2. program scancode 4 on the thinkpad-acpi input device to something that is not KEY_WLAN, KEY_BLUETOOTH, etc.
ACPI events for fn+f5 will be generated *only* on the deprecated, outdated /proc/acpi/event interface. hotkey_mask gets rid of those too.
