On my HP laptop using the RFKILL code currently in wireless-testing, sliding the "Wireless switch" results in b43_rfkill_poll being called.

Can you confirm (remove rfkill-input, hp-wmi, and anything else that could
mess with the results) that the HP laptop wireless switch is wired directly
to that b43 input pin?

Is it wired to anything else? e.g. can hp-wmi see that switch?

I removed rfkill_input and toggled the switch off - b43 reported that the hardware switch was set to DISABLED, but the light remained on. When the switch was turned on, b43 reported that it was ENABLED. It certainly seems that the switch is wired to some pin on the PCIe connector used by my BCM4312.

From what I know, hp-wmi is a Windows process - when I need to use Windows, I go to a different computer.
