Dual booting Windows 7 and ubuntu. In Windows, system boots with wireless disabled and then pressing the wireless enable button twice enables WiFi. In ubuntu, system boots with wireless disabled and wireless enable button has no functionality either directly or in combination with the fn-key. Module hp_wmi may be the culprit?
