Confirming Emilk comment with one difference: reboot not needed
Problem is that there is a state in which phy0 and dell-wifi in rfkill
list are not in sync because the hardbutton toggle's both there is
always one hardblocked.
Hardbutton wifi off:
2: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: yes
3: dell-wifi: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
hardbutton wifi on:
2: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
3: dell-wifi: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: yes
Solution which works on my system (Dell D830/Intel Corporation
PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN)
> Hardbutton wifi Off
2: phy0: Wireless LAN
Hard blocked: yes
3: dell-wifi: Wireless LAN
Hard blocked: no
> rfkill unblock all
2: phy0: Wireless LAN
Hard blocked: yes
3: dell-wifi: Wireless
LAN Hard blocked: yes
Hardbutton wifi On
2: phy0: Wireless LAN
Hard blocked: no
3: dell-wifi: Wireless LAN
Hard blocked: no
And Wifi Works
