Hi! With kernels 3.1 and 3.2, disabling Bluetooth via rfkill also disables my wireless card on my HP Pavilion dm4. This didn't happen with 2.6.41 (I upgraded from Fedora 15 to 16). My devices are set up as this (see attached output of lspci -vnn for details about devices): # rfkill list 0: phy0: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no 2: hp-wifi: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no 3: hp-bluetooth: Bluetooth Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no 11: hci0: Bluetooth Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no The problem is, these commands also stop the WiFi: rfkill block bluetooth and rfkill block 3 [for hp-bluetooth] But this one only kills the Bluetooth: rfkill block 11 Running rfkill block wifi does kill the WiFi, but leaves the Bluetooth up. So it looks like the hp-bluetooth device is the culprit. Sadly, it's what bluetoothd uses by default (if I judge by what gnome-bluetooth does). (If it matters, running 'rfkill block bluetooth' makes hci0 disappear, and after unblocking bluetooth, it reappears with the ID increased by 1. This doesn't happen with the WiFi.) Please ask if I can provide more information/testing. Thanks for your help.
