Title:
  wifi airplane mode key combination does not work for MSI laptop and
  wifi is off on resuming from suspend mode

Status in gnome-settings-daemon package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Problem 1:
  After fresh install of Ubuntu 24.04 on a MSI P75 Creator laptop, the key combination Fn-F10 which toggles the Airplane mode is not working anymore, while it was working on Ububntu 22.04.
  It is not a hardware problem, as this is dual boot machine and under Windows 10 everything works as expected.

  When pressing the Fn-F10 key combination:
  0. rfkill command does not show any change in the state of both radio devices – wifi and bluetooth.
  1. the command showkey -s|-k does not output anything
  2. the command xev does doesnot output anything
  3. the command evtest has the following output:

  ~# evtest /dev/input/event7
  Input driver version is 1.0.1
  Input device ID: bus 0x19 vendor 0x1 product 0x1 version 0x100
  Input device name: "gpio-keys"
  Supported events:
    Event type 0 (EV_SYN)
    Event type 5 (EV_SW)
      Event code 3 (SW_RFKILL_ALL) state 0
  Properties:
  Testing ... (interrupt to exit)
  Event: time 1725492041.076456, type 5 (EV_SW), code 3 (SW_RFKILL_ALL), value 1
  Event: time 1725492041.076456, -------------- SYN_REPORT ------------

  but there is no change in the state of the radio devices

  I think this functionality should be supported by this service:
  # systemctl status | grep -i rfkill
                   │ │   └─8671 grep --color=auto -i rfkill
                     ├─org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.Rfkill.service
                     │ └─3043 /usr/libexec/gsd-rfkill

  # fuser /dev/rfkill
  /dev/rfkill:             1  1223  3043

  I tried this, but got an error:

  # gdbus call --session --dest org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.Rfkill --object-path /org/gnome/SettingsDaemon/Rfkill --method org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.Set "org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.Rfkill" "AirplaneMode" "true"
  Error: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.Rfkill was not provided by any .service files

  Note: when booting to kernel recovery mode, the key combination seems
  to work. rfkill command output shows that the radio devices are going
  in soft blocked state and back as expected.

  Problem 2:
  After going to Suspend mode either by pushing the power button or the Fn-F12 key combination and resuming back the laptop to working state, the radio devices – wifi and bluetooth are in airplane mode and there is no way to make them work and actually the bluetooth device seems to be gone.

  # rfkill
  ID TYPE DEVICE      SOFT    HARD
   1 wlan    phy0         unblocked blocked

  e.g. rfkill show that only the wifi adapter is recognized.

  Due to problem 1 above there is no way to unblock the wifi with the
  key combination Fn-F10.

  I believe this is not a hardware problem as the same functionality
  works flawlessly on Windows 10 on the same machine.

  Problem 2 is extremely annoying as after every time I close the lid of
  the laptop I need to restart the machine in away to have internet.

  Note: the Problem 2 was also present in Ubuntu 22.0 with kernel
  6.8.0.40, but there was a workaround - double clicking on Fn-F10 was
  enabling the radio modules again. But now due to Problem 1 this
  workaround is not applicable.
