I didn't have the acl package, which contains getfacl installed.  I
have now installed it:

$ getfacl /dev/rfkill
getfacl: Removing leading '/' from absolute path names
# file: dev/rfkill
# owner: root
# group: root
user::rw-
group::rw-
other::rw-

Note that this is after I have manually changed the /dev/rfkill
permissions to rw, to get rid of the warning above.  When I change them
back to 644, I get:

$ getfacl /dev/rfkill
getfacl: Removing leading '/' from absolute path names
# file: dev/rfkill
# owner: root
# group: root
user::rw-
group::r--
other::r--

Do we see anything more than than what my original 'ls' showed?

Produces no output.
