Bug#552185: How about proper group

Package: gnome-bluetooth
Version: 2.28.3-2
Severity: normal

Maybe change /dev/rfkill's group to netdev or plugdev?
AFAIK most users are in plugdev group. Adding them
to netdev is also possible. Eventually this should 
be somehow processes indirectly via i.e. NetworkManager?

After changing it by:
chown :plugdev /dev/rfkill
chmod g+w /dev/rfkill

it (gnome-bluetooth applet, etc.) started working for me
and all functions works (Thinkpad T43 with buildin Broadcom
chip over USB).
