Quite often kernel rfkill/platform drivers need updates for new hardware; OEMs apparently change BIOS randomly and often break things like the keycodes that BIOS sends for rfkill, or the WMI/ACPI events that are triggered for rfkill, or the locations where rfkill status is stored. So if rfkill looks to be the culprit, we should probably verify that the laptop is well supported by the kernel rfkill and platform drivers (like hp-wmi, dell-laptop, acer-laptop, thinkpad-acpi, etc).
