Public bug reported:
I did a clean install of 9.04 RC on a HP EliteBook 6930p. I can't get
wireless to work and I suspect that the problem is with the HW RF Kill
switch, whose state doesn't change when I press the wifi button. Since
the wifi worked perfectly under Vista, I don't think it's a hardware
problem.
Here is the output of some relevant commands:
