Bug description:
  Some hp systems have faulty wmi 0x05 interfaces
  (HPWMI_WIRELESS_QUERY); however, BIOS still reports 0x05 is supported
  and it will be used in hp-wmi instead of wmi 0x1b
  (HPWMI_WIRELESS2_QUERY). This causes "rkfill block" and "rfkill
  unblock" fail to change the state of wireless devices in these
  particular systems.

  HP defines wmi 0x05 as "This command is deprecated starting with
  Bios09 platforms and is replaced by Command Type 1Bh. Check Features
  Reporting (Command Type 0Dh, Bit 3) for new command support."
