Bug exists in upstream kernel. I'll fix the tags in a minute.
Here's the kernel I'm running right now:
tsj@linux-laptop:~$ uname -r
3.4.0-030400rc3-generic
I loaded the brcmsmac driver (in my setup it's usually blacklisted);
running "lspci -k" showed that the kernel driver in use was "bcma-pci-
bridge" with some wireless albeit quite weak. Disabling the bluetooth
via the applet disconnected the wireless. Here are the results from
"rfkill list all" after the wireless disconnected:
0: hci0: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: yes
Hard blocked: no
1: hp-wifi: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: yes
Hard blocked: no
2: hp-bluetooth: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
3: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: yes
I couldn't get the proprietary wl driver to work with this kernel,
either through the Additional Drivers option in System Setting or
through building it from Broadcom here
http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php
I got some errors during the build and don't know enough to figure out
what's wrong (I've built the wl driver before but on a regular ubuntu
kernel).
Anyway, looks like the problem is still there. Let me know if you need
more testing, I'd be glad to help if I can.
Cheers
