removing hp_wmi seems to do the trick. After removing the module, I tried all of the software switches in all of the combinations for both wifi and bt, as well as the hardware switch. This included airplane mode. All seems to be okay, in that I can then re-enable the radio(s) by the various switches. One thing I did notice is that sw switch for airplane mode does not disable bt - I thought it used to do so, but I am not sure. Thanks, Al
