Public bug reported:
What I expected to happen:
The wireless to be enabled after a reboot.
What happened insteed:
The wireless on my laptop a HP 6530b running Ubuntu 13.10 will be
disabled at boot.
The rfkill list shows the following output after every restart.
stephenm@mcr-pc-29334:~$ rfkill list all
0: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: yes
1: hp-wifi: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: yes
Hard blocked: no
2: hp-bluetooth: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: yes
Hard blocked: no
The wireless has to be manually enabled by clicking the network icon in
the top bar and checking "enable wifi" the wireless will then connect.
Possible problem with hp-wmi kernel module.
