[Bug 501973] Re: rfkill gets stuck in hard-blocked state erroneously, blocking wireless

[Robert]

Affected. With a fully-updated kernel, rfkill erroneously reports that
the wireless is hard-blocked. The fix in the report - mounting tmpfs
over the virtual device in /sys - works.

Ubuntu Lucid 10.04 32bit with an Intel 5300 using the wlagn driver. Key
problem: NetworkManager shows the card, but lists it as 'disabled' and
un-enableable. The tmpfs trick and a NetworkManager restart fixes the
problem.

** Also affects: rfkill (Ubuntu)
