It could be that hp-wmi doesn't have support for these models yet, or that the dv6-1300sb is simply completely different. But for example, on my Elitebook 2530p, there's a softswitch that pokes BIOS, and when BIOS is softkilled, the onboard wifi becomes hardkilled. To unkill, I need to unblock BIOS, which then either unblocks wifi, or turns the wifi hardkill into a softkill. Convoluted.
