Anything broken with the rfkill killswitches has to be an issue with the kernel driver; reassigning to linux. There's probably an issue with the soft killswitch handling in that hp-wifi killswitch.

And in the next start (after removing battery and power wire, then plugging it again) there are not longer references nor options regarding the wireless network, nor even there is the activate wireless network option, only there is the wired connection options at the nm-applet (as seen in the attached photo). 2) So, to re-activate the wireless network, I have to run the "sudo rfkill unblock all" command, and to restart the laptop (or, another option for this it's to restart the laptop in Windows Vista then activating the wireless connection via "HP Wireless Assistant"). 3) Thus, the wireless network options do appear again at nm-applet, but yet deactivated the wireless connection; Then clicking the activate wireless connection at nm-applet it works without freezing the machine this time. The whole above procedure it's reproducible as it happens all the times I deactivate then reactivate the wireless network at the nm- applet.
