Bug Description
With my RF kill _off_, I get:
# rfkill list
0: (null): Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: yes
3: phy2: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
But with it on:
# rfkill list
0: (null): Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
3: phy2: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: yes
As you can see, rfkill always reports one of the kill switches on.
It should be noted that there is not, in fact, a hardware block - by mounting tmpfs over /sys/devices/

Hi Bryan,
This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http:// cdimage. ubuntu. com/releases/ .
If it remains an issue, could you run the following command from a Terminal (Applications- >Accessories- >Terminal) . It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.
apport-collect -p linux 501973
Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https:/ /wiki.ubuntu. com/KernelMainl ineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs- upstream- testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs- upstream- testing' text. Please let us know your results.
Thanks in advance.
