Hello, 

I have been having problems with my wifi-card and rfkill, I opened bug 435141. 
Maybe, this bug is related so I have tried the patch, I have a dell e4300 with 
an interl 53000 AGN.

I attach the results of testing the patch with hardware switch on and off. In 
both cases the result is the same:

If hardware switch on:

rfkill list
1: phy0: Wireless LAN
        Soft blocked: yes
        Hard blocked: no
2: hci0: Bluetooth
        Soft blocked: yes
        Hard blocked: no

If hardware switch off:

 rfkill list

1: phy0: Wireless LAN
        Soft blocked: yes
        Hard blocked: yes

My wifi is always disabled by software, I have to enable it manually. However, 
with a fresh install of Karmic Alpha 6 it worked perfectly. I would appreciate 
some feedback if it would be possible, I don't want to introduce noise in a 
bug not related with me.  Maybe is with something related with rfkill but not 
rfkill itself. Let me know if you need more info.

Regards,

Isaías
