** Bug Description **
Using kernel 2.6.33 or later, the wireless switch on my HP Pavilion dv1550se
no longer activates the wireless card. Pressing the wireless button does
absolutely nothing (nothing lights up, no network activity). Using kernel
2.6.32.* or earlier, the wireless button will cause the button to light up, the
wireless LED to flash and wireless networks to be detected (note: it has to be
pressed twice initially, but it does work).
I have tested the following system combinations:
- . Ubuntu Hardy through Lucid, kernels up to 2.6.32-24.39: wireless works
- . Ubuntu Lucid, kernels 2.6.33 through 2.6.35-rc6 (courtesy of mainline
kernel ppa): wireless broken
- . Ubuntu Maverick alpha3, kernel 2.6.35-14 via live CD: wireless broken
+ . Ubuntu Hardy through Lucid, kernels up to 2.6.32-24.39: wireless works
+ . Ubuntu Lucid, kernels 2.6.33 through 2.6.35-rc6 (courtesy of mainline
kernel ppa): wireless broken
+ . Ubuntu Maverick alpha3, kernel 2.6.35-14 via live CD: wireless broken
All kernels seem to detect the wireless hardware, while indicating that
the wireless "kill switch" is turned on.

+ WORKAROUND: Install rfkill and add the following command to run on startup:
+ rfkill unblock wifi
