[Bug 553782] [NEW] rfkill shows wrong status of wlan

[PeterLi65]

Public bug reported:

"Rfkill list" shows the rt2500usb as Hard blocked and "rfkill unblock
wifi" does therefore not unblock. But there is no switch on my pc or in
the BIOS to switch it on/off. In the previous kernel image linux-
image-2.6.31-20-generic it was "Soft blocked" on startup which in my
opinion is wrong, too. But at least I was able to switch it to unblocked
by rfkill.
