Can you please test the patch that is attached to the kernel bug report: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=186411&action=diff&context=patch&collapsed=&headers=1&format=raw
This change is not yet in the mainline kernel; feedback is needed to understand if this fixes the issue on older systems such as yours. If you are not familiar with patching the kernel, I can create an (unofficial) ppa for you with a kernel package that contains this patch. Please let me know if you are using still Ubuntu Trusty with the original 3.13 kernel or with an LTS kernel (3.16 or 3.19), or if you are using a newer release of Ubuntu. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1290418 Title: rfkill unable to control HP 2510p wireless devices Status in Linux: Unknown Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: With recent kernels (3.13 in trusty beta and 3.11 on precise) I can't turn on/off some hp-specific wireless devices (bluetooth, wwan) with rfkill and GUI tools.
