Title:
  Wireless disabled on boot HP 6530b.

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  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.

  Seems other people have had this issue, found this on ask.ubuntu
