With acpi=off
Miho:/home/david# rfkill list all
0: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
Without using acpi=off
Miho:/home/david# rfkill list all
0: hp-wifi: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: yes
Hard blocked: no
1: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: yes
Hard blocked: yes
Miho:/home/david#
This where it says the wireless is hard blocked, which is incorrect as I
can just do this with software...
Miho:/home/david# rfkill unblock all
Miho:/home/david# rfkill list all
0: hp-wifi: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
1: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
Then it shows that it is not hard blocked.
After that, the wireless now seems to be working. I press the hardware
switch to disable the wireless and then I get...
Miho:/home/david# rfkill list all
0: hp-wifi: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: yes
1: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: yes
Miho:/home/david#
Which is correct as expected... Aside from the fact that it appears I have
two wireless devices when I do not.
1) The problem seems to be that every time the PC is started for the first
time, rfkill says the wireless is both hardware and software blocked, but
really it is just software blocked.
2) rfkill seems to suggest I have two wireless LAN network cards, this is
incorrect. One of my wireless LAN connections disappears when I boot with
ACPI=off, the wireless is not hardware or software blocked, and the
wireless works.
