Comment 20 for bug 1290418

Hi!

As of 3.13, the wifi card on my HP nx6325 remains hard-blocked no matter how much I press the hardware button or run rfkill:

Oddly enough, it reports hard-blocked after trying to set the interface up.

Transcript:

chopin:~# rfkill list

        Soft blocked: no
        Hard blocked: yes
chopin:~# rmmod b43
chopin:~# modprobe b43
chopin:~# rfkill list
3: phy3: Wireless LAN
        Soft blocked: no
        Hard blocked: no
chopin:~# ifconfig wlan0 up
chopin:~# iwlist wlan0 scan
wlan0 Interface doesn't support scanning : Network is down

chopin:~# rfkill list

        Soft blocked: no
        Hard blocked: yes

The LED remains off all the time, it only flashes once when running "ifconfig wlan0 up", but the device isn't really up.

Needless to say it's impossible to connect via wifi, hence the raised priority.

For the sake of completeness, let me add that 3.12.8 isn't affected, so it's clearly a regression.
