[Bug 1290418] [NEW] rfkill unable to control HP 2510p wireless devices

 

Public bug reported:

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:
