I'm on 2.6.30.8-64.fc11.i586, Dell Inspiron e1505.
Just like you, I only see rfkill in lsmod
$ lsmod |grep kill
rfkill                  8928  5 iwlcore,dell_laptop

But my wifi kill switch still works (it so happens that it's also Fn+F2 
on this model)

I don't know if it makes any difference, but I use the rfkill switch to 
turn off bluetooth only.
