If you prevent the hp-wmi driver from loading (just running echo 'blacklist hp-wmi' >/etc/modprobe.d/ds-blacklist-hpwmi.conf and rebooting should do the trick, but check "lsmod" output to be sure), does that avoid rfkill trouble? If so, please send a summary of symptoms to platform-driver-...@vger.kernel.org, cc-ing linux-wirel...@vger.kernel.org, Anssi Hannula <anssi.hann...@iki.fi>, and either me or this bug log so we can track it. Be sure to mention - steps to reproduce the problem, expected result, actual result, and how the difference indicates a bug (should be simple enough) - which kernel versions you have tested and what happened with each - full "dmesg" output from booting and reproducing the bug on an affected kernel, as an attachment - PCI registers for your wireless card (from running "lspci -vv -s06:05.0" as root) - any other weird symptoms or observations - a link to http://bugs.debian.org/684352 for the backstory Hopefully someone upstream can suggest steps to perform or a patch to try to further track down the cause. Another hint: another tack would be to try various kernels to narrow down when this regression was introduced. There are various pre-compiled kernel versions at <http://snapshot.debian.org/package/linux-2.6/>. It would be interesting to see whether 2.6.38 and 2.6.39 exhibit this.
