Speaking to the OP, this does not work, as explained above.
This was tried way back when with "sudo rfkill unblock all" and it worked
for
about 5 minutes until the user tried to connect to an AP, but then the
hp-wifi
(I can only assume) kicked back in and hard blocked everything.

Sorry for the delay, yes I had tried to just press the physical wifi
button but it did not work (it worked quite well to start this whole
mess though).
I had actually managed to remove, I think the HP driver, from the
kernel, and that was a decent workaround. Then I received my new laptop,
and I'v

This affects me too.
When I woke up this morning, heard my laptop fan running because of a
dialog box that needed attention, which in itself to me is a bug.
Even though I had my ethernet cable plugged into the laptop, it was
still trying to reconnect to a wifi network in the house, and there is

Hello and thanks Seth, I can't uoad the rfkill as my laptop overheated

Oh, and if you want to work around the problem temporarily the easiest
thing to do is to unload the hp_wmi module (sudo rmmod hp_wmi). You can
make it persist across reboots by adding the line 'blacklist hp_wmi' to
/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf. You will loose some functionality

Denva: Can you give the output of 'rfkill list' when you get the
situation with the USB adapter?
Teej: It would be most helpful to have the rfkill list output pasted in
rather than typed from memory, just to ensure that there aren't any
mistakes.
What it looks like at this point is that hp_wmi re
Hello again, I though I would try and use a USB wireless dongle. It was
a ralink RT2070 (device ID - 148f:2070), but for some strange reason it
came up with "device is disabled by hardware switch". So I decided to do

this:

Soft blocked: no

Hi Seth, thanks for looking at this.
It appears that rfkill may indeed be the problem, but the situation is that
rfkill works first time only if the laptop was rebooted from windows.
After that, rfkill unblock {0,1} works, but yes, temporarily, as the local APs
are displayed in network-manager, b
Hello Seth,
I will try this a bit later on when I am at home and can connect it to
the internet via wire :D

It looks like the rfkilli s the problem. I see Matthew Garrett already
suggested you try unblocking it. Am I understanding correctly that when
you unblock both 0 and 1 it works temporarily, but a short time later it
stops working again and displays a soft block on the hp-wifi device? It

I'll add to this that this specific laptop was my own, and worked back
in an old version of Ubuntu, possibly 7.10-8.04 or thereabouts. I'm
thinking this may be related to NetworkManager, and will work through
