Hello

I am not able to unblock Bluetooth:

# rfkill unblock all
# rfkill list 4
4: hp-bluetooth: Bluetooth
          Soft blocked: yes
          Hard blocked: no

The Bluetooth layer remains "Soft blocked".

My system looks like this:

- Linux: 3.11-rc1
- Userspace: Debian wheezy
- rfkill: 0.5
- HW: HP dv7 6130ez
- Bluetooth probably provided by:
   # lspci
   ...
   0d:00.0 Network controller: Ralink corp. RT5390
  [802.11 b/g/n 1T1R G-band PCI Express Single Chip]

Kernel logs show no trace of a problem:

   Bluetooth: Core ver 2.16
   Bluetooth: HCI device and connection manager initialized
   Bluetooth: HCI socket layer initialized
   Bluetooth: L2CAP socket layer initialized
   Bluetooth: SCO socket layer initialized
   Bluetooth: RFCOMM TTY layer initialized
   Bluetooth: RFCOMM socket layer initialized
   Bluetooth: RFCOMM ver 1.11
   Bluetooth: BNEP (Ethernet Emulation) ver 1.3
   Bluetooth: BNEP filters: protocol multicast
   Bluetooth: BNEP socket layer initialized

I had to provide some firware in order for the Bluetooth device to show
up in rfkill. I copied those firmware blobs over from Debian's
"firmware-ralink" package. It must be one of these:

rt2661.bin
rtl_nic
rtl_nic/rtl8168f-1.fw
rtl_nic/rtl8168e-1.fw
rtl_nic/rtl8168f-2.fw
rtl_nic/rtl8168e-3.fw
rtl_nic/rtl8168d-2.fw

rt3090.bin
rt2561s.bin
RTL8192E
RTL8192E/main.img
RTL8192E/boot.img
RTL8192E/data.img

Additional possibly useful info:

   # lsmod |grep blue
   bluetooth             169854  10 bnep,rfcomm
   rfkill                 19242  6 cfg80211,hp_wmi,bluetooth
   crc16                  12343  2 ext4,bluetooth

What can I do to unblock the Bluetooth?

Thank you,
*t

lsusb might be useful here too. hp_wmi hooked into rfkill might mean that hp-wmi is setting that soft block. Perhaps you have a keyboard combo to unblock it?
