Bug Description
After using wireless hotkey to disable wireless,
it cannot be turned on again using wireless hotkey.
Steps:
1. Press wireless hotkey to disable wireless
2. Press wireless hotkey to enable wireless - but doesn't work
Expected results: Wireless hotkey can reopen the wireless
Actual results: The wifi is still be blocked
When using Fn + F2 to disable wireless, rfkill shows the wireless network interfaces are soft blocked:
0: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: yes
Hard blocked: no
1: asus-wlan: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: yes
Hard blocked: no
And when we press Fn + F2 again, it should show all "no" in rfkill, but it has a "yes" in it:
0: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: yes
1: asus-wlan: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
So the wireless is still be blocked.
If I remove asus_nb_wmi, the bug cannot be reproduced.
