how do I rfkill with Intel Wireless 2915ABG

I am trying to figure out how change the state of my wireless interface on my T43 Thinkpad

lspci | grep Wireless

04:02.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2915ABG [Calexico2] Network Connection (rev 05)

cat /sys/class/rfkill/rfkill0/state

cat: /sys/class/rfkill/rfkill0/state: No such file or directory

So I am not sure how to call the function with rfkill

Finding another post, I did a

modprobe rfkill-input

lsmod

rfkill                 11596  2 rfkill_input,thinkpad_acpi

but

cat /sys/class/rfkill/rfkill0/state

cat: /sys/class/rfkill/rfkill0/state: No such file or directory

I want to be able to turn the interface on and off to save power.  Is it possible to do with with my hardware and if yes, what do I have to have loaded and what do I "echo"  to do this.

Bump - still asking what the specifics are to use rfkill with this wireless device.  I am fairly sure someone out there knows the answer to this:-)
