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, but then rfkill HARD blocks/kills the 
wireless button (hp-wifi) after about 10-30 seconds.
No amount of messing around with the rfkill options works.
