Mystery Device ATK4001

I just finished installing Windows 8 drivers for all the hardware in my new laptop. One device in particular, ACPI\VEN_ATK&DEV_4001, stumped me for quite a while. There’s no open, centralized database for ACPI IDs like there is for PCI and USB. All I knew was that it was made by Asus (ATK is their vendor code) and searching Google was turning up nothing. I eventually resorted to looking at the ini files from random drivers on the Asus site for the UX31A until I found a match. Apparently it’s the wireless radio control interface, used to enter airplane mode from the Windows UI. It’s covered by the “ASUS Wireless Radio Control” driver in the “Utilities” section of the download page.
