[Bug 576972] [NEW] thinkpad x60s, can't turn off rfkill hard block

[Odin Hørthe Omdal]

Public bug reported:

odin at sol:~$ rfkill list
0: tpacpi_bluetooth_sw: Bluetooth
	Soft blocked: yes
	Hard blocked: yes
1: phy0: Wireless LAN
	Soft blocked: yes
	Hard blocked: yes
odin at sol:~$ # push rfkill button (fn-f5)
odin at sol:~$ rfkill list
0: tpacpi_bluetooth_sw: Bluetooth
	Soft blocked: no
	Hard blocked: yes
1: phy0: Wireless LAN
	Soft blocked: yes
	Hard blocked: yes


Then if I try to do:

odin at sol:~$ rfkill unblock all
odin at sol:~$ rfkill list
0: tpacpi_bluetooth_sw: Bluetooth
	Soft blocked: no
	Hard blocked: yes
1: phy0: Wireless LAN
	Soft blocked: no
	Hard blocked: yes
odin at sol:~$ sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Unknown error 132


still doesn't work. :-(

I turned off wireless to save battery, and at one point I lost battery.
After that I've never been able to get it back.
