Can you please test the patch that is attached to the kernel bug report:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=186411&action=diff&context=patch&collapsed=&headers=1&format=raw

This change is not yet in the mainline kernel; feedback is needed to
understand if this fixes the issue on older systems such as yours.

If you are not familiar with patching the kernel, I can create an
(unofficial) ppa for you with a kernel package that contains this patch.
Please let me know if  you are using still Ubuntu Trusty with the
original 3.13 kernel or with an LTS kernel (3.16 or 3.19), or if you are
using a newer release of Ubuntu.

Title:
  rfkill unable to control HP 2510p wireless devices

Status in Linux:
  Unknown
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  With recent kernels (3.13 in trusty beta and 3.11 on precise) I can't turn on/off some hp-specific wireless devices (bluetooth, wwan) with rfkill and GUI tools.
  This seems to be a regression in hp_wmi.

  Correct behavior:
  On 3.11.0-15-generic #25~precise1-Ubuntu
