txomon: Let me make sure I have the facts straight from the our irc
discussion. When you boot, 'rfkill list' shows that you have a soft
block on both the phy0 and hp-wifi devices, correct? And your wlan
hotkey toggles the state of the hard block on phy0 but not the soft
block?
What I suspect is that the hp-wmi driver is setting the state to blocked
based off of what it reads from the bios during initialization. To prove
this, try temporarily blacklisting the hp-wmi driver by adding the line
'blacklist hp-wmi' to the end of /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf. Then
reboot, verify that hp-wmi isn't loaded by running 'lsmod | grep hp-
wmi', and check the rfkill state with 'rfkill list'. After you're done
you can remove the line you added to blacklist.conf. Please report your
findings here. Thanks!
