Description of problem: Unable to turn on Wi-Fi on HP nx7400 EY508ES by pressing the kill switch. LED indicator is off all the time. NetworkManager says that Wi-Fi network is turned off by a hardware kill switch. I get following messages in dmesg: [ 4255.071832] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlp16s0: link is not ready [ 4273.048292] iwl3945 0000:10:00.0: Card state received: HW:Kill SW:On [ 4273.062070] iwl3945 0000:10:00.0: Not sending command - RF KILL [ 4273.062083] iwl3945 0000:10:00.0: Error sending C_RXON: enqueue_hcmd failed: -5 [ 4273.062093] iwl3945 0000:10:00.0: Error setting new configuration (-5).
